Description

Photographic art by Dawn Currie. I spotted this Great Egret on a nearby tree wrestling with the new branch he had just selected. It gave me just enough time to lift my camera to my eye and capture his flight to the nest across the marsh. (Scientific name: Ardea alba)

I took this photograph at Gatorland in Orlando, Florida where the wild birds who turn the breeding marsh into a very busy rookery every spring. The alligators protect the nests by keeping predators at bay (snakes, raccoons, and others that like to steel eggs). I highly recommend a visit if you're in Orlando anytime between March and early June.
