Great Egret (Ardea alba) build their nests up to 100 feet off the ground, often over water, usually in or near the top of a shrub or tree. The male builds a nest platform from long sticks and twigs before pairing up with a female, and then both members of the pair may collaborate to complete the nest, though the male sometimes finishes it himself. The nest is up to 3 feet across and 1 foot deep. It is lined with pliable plant material that dries to form a cup structure.
