Kathy Baccari replied:
Oh thank you so very much Lois. I really appreciate the great comment, fave and vote. This little one was tired on seeing all the other parents coming back to the nest with fish for the babies so it kept looking up for it's parent. :)

I have never seen a Great Egret this young in person. Fabulous capture!!! Where was the nest? F/V!
Kathy Baccari replied:
I am so pleased to know you enjoyed this beautiful little baby Susan. I am fortunate to live no more than 10 minutes away from getting to see the courtship and building on nest, laying of eggs and the babies every spring. To see hundreds of these birds along with great egrets, night herons, anhingas and many others start a new generation is the most breathtaking sight I have ever seen. If you ever have the opportunity to visit a rookery Susan, do not pass it up. It is something you will remember for ever. Thank you so much for the fave and vote. I appreciate it so much. :)
