Scruffy looking baby egrets. I think these were snowy egrets.

I was watching this almost grown baby great egret exercising his wings. I don’t think he had fledged yet. He kept practicing flapping but never made it off the bush. He was probably gone in another day or so.

It’s fun watching the baby birds grow up in the bushes along the lake at Gatorland.  The trip in late May provided babies from all stages of growing up.

  1. A great series of photos. The fluffy babies are so cute but it is very interesting to see them with varying amounts of plumage.
