Description
"Egret Pair" by Loree Johnson Photography. During breeding season, the great egret (Ardea alba) develops long, flowing feathers known as aigrettes. Once prized for decorating ladies hats, these feathers nearly spelled the demise of the species. Now protected, they are free to display their beauty for the purpose of attracting a mate. Photographed at Lower Klamath National Wildlife Refuge, California.
