Tis The Season


The mating season, that is. Take a close look at this great egret, and you'll see the tell-tale signs that he's ready to breed. The skin around the eyes has turned a bright green, and he's grown long decorative feathers that flow in the breeze. I'm saying it's a he, but I don't know for sure. I think both sexes exhibit these changes.
