Description
Fine art wildlife photograph capturing a Snowy Egret (Egretta thula) family in a eucalyptus tree. Three egret chicks are loudly demanding to be fed but their parent seems disinterested in feeding them. The parents take turns setting on the eggs, brooding and feeding the baby herons until they fledge. There are 4 species of herons raising families together in this huge tree and the birds mostly get along, with the exception of snowy egrets. Snowies constantly fight among themselves and pick fights with other herons in the rookery. Some of the nests have a mix of cattle egret, snowy egret and great white heron chicks. It would be interesting to know how THAT happened. Fine art prints available for sale. ŠKathleen Bishop 2014.
