We may spot this bird, the Great Egret in our areas year-round. Every season is the perfect time.
We believe the scientific name for Great Egret is Ardea alba. Interestingly, It has many common names, few of them are:
- Otis, very local name
- great white egret
- big egret
- common egret
- white heron
- and etc.
Have you seen the great egret around you?

ReplyDeleteOh wow how cool is this! One time years ago, a pheasant landed in our yard. It was crazy to see out there. There is a park close by so I will see water fowl flying around some times.
