EGRET COME OUT AFTER THE RAIN

By
Education & Training with Performance Development Strategies
Enterprise-1200x800-layout1049-1ggk086.jpg

We are spending a few weeks at our house in Florida.  We had several days of rain.

Rather than seeing our Sandhill Cranes (I don't know where they are hiding) we said a number of these small white animals.  I found out that they are Egrets.

According to Wikopedia, egrets are herons that have white or buff plumage, developing fine plumes (usually milky white) during the breeding season. Egrets are not a biologically distinct group from herons and have the same build.

I don't know if the rain brought them out but I spoted this one below in our back yard.

 

Hope to see the sun tomorrow.

Morning Grant.

We are going to visit the Sunshine State sometime this year.  My wife is already working out the plans.  I'll know when later this month, or not....

Good morning, Grant... that must have really been fun to watch the egrets come and visit. We got some sun yesterday afternoon, but seems to have disappeared this morning. Maybe it's heading your way! :)

Good morning Grant. Miss the Sandhill Cranes and Egrets we saw almost daily while living in Florida. The rain, not so much! Enjoy your time in the Sunshine state.

Grant,

I am sure you are enjoying your time in Florida.  And those egrets are a delight to watch.  When we have our early morning high tides,  I can see  them i  the marshes   congregating in the distance outside our office window...A

Grant, glad you are able to spend some time in FL, and the egrets must be a FL thing.  Have never seen one.

Grant, just thought of you, making plans to visit friends in Melbourne for Thanksgiving, then heading to the Keys.   Will you be in Florida during that time?   I may see an egret!
