The Great Egret is a type of
Heron and lives in marine
habitats in southern Florida and
Cuba. Its diet consists of fish,
aquatic invertebrates, frogs, and
small mammals. The female
breeds in colonies and situates
her nests up to 40 m above
ground within trees. She lays 1 -7
eggs. The Great White Heron is
approximately 40 -50 inches in
length.
In the winter months the Great
Egrets display fabulous breeding
plumes that made them a target
during the early 1900s for
poachers seeking the plumes for
use in various fashions of the
time. This practice greatly
reduced their numbers.
The detailed beauty of the birds
white feathers was captured for
your enjoyment without harming
the bird in anyway.
