Great Egret Nest Building

Venice Rookery - Venice, Florida
February 12th, 2020
Nest building time! I had been watching Great Egrets bringing nest building materials all morning as the mating pairs were preparing for egg laying and raising their chicks. I caught this Egret at a distance coming into the rookery with a large stick for the mating pairs nest. I was able to grab this capture as he landed at the top of the rookery island, being received by his mate.

I am in my 50's and happily married with 5 daughters from our blended family. I became interested in photography just a few short years ago, much later in life than many but my passion is strong. I started out experimenting with scenic mountain shots, landscapes, flowers and anything nature as being outside is where I am happiest.
