Cosumnes River Preserve
A large white heron, the Great Egret is found across much of the world, from southern Canada southward to Argentina, and in Europe, Africa, Asia, and Australia. It’s the largest egret in the Old World, and thus has garnered the name Great White Egret. But in the Americas, the white form of the Great Blue Heron is larger and warrants that name. In the United States, the Great Egret used to be called the American Egret but that was hardly appropriate, since the species range extends beyond America and indeed farther than other herons.

Great Egret belongs to the following groups:

    This has got to be the best reflection I’ve ever seen in a bird image anywhere! It’s so superb, it’s hard to tell the real from the reflected! And you managed light control beautifully! White birds can give you fits with overexposure but you got this one just right! Commendable in every way!
