The Great Egret around Neighborhood - Critter 78

Saturday, September 14, 2024
 Our state, Louisiana has several species of egrets, one of them is Great Egret with scientific name Ardea alba.


Fig 01- A Great Egret, walking around.


The egret is a common wading bird found in our state, especially near bodies of water, just seen again around neighborhood.

The birds are distinguished by their pristine white plumage. Great Egret features a long, S-shaped neck, a trait typical of herons and egrets.

The great egrets are characterized by their long, yellow bills. These birds are relatively large as depicted by the images.

Where do you see this kind of bird?

  1. I haven't seen it in our neck of the woods of Nebraska. I am sure there are a few at our zoon. Cool shot!

  5. first of all, I do hope and pray that you all did not have any damage from the hurricane. We have traveled throughout the state of Louisiana, and I have seen these many times. I often wonder how often they get snatched up by gators? Happy Sunday to you!

  16. I've only seen little egrets, as far as I can remember, but I did work a long time at a state park and usually saw the great blue herons. Nice photos.

  17. This bird is now increasingly common in the Netherlands. We have also had the quack, cattle egret, blue heron, purple heron and thus the great and little egret. Greetings Tine
