Description
"Great Egret Catches a Mouse" ©2022 Loree Johnson Photography. The great egret (Ardea alba) is a skillful hunter. Slowly stalking its prey and staying completely still at times, it waits for just the right moment. Using its long, sharp bill as a spear, its aim must be precise and perfectly timed. This one has scored a field mouse meal. Photographed at Lower Klamath National Wildlife Refuge, California.
