GREAT EGRET
(Ardea alba)
Great Egrets are seen, above, in Xiangshan Forest Park in Nanchang, capital of Jiangxi Province, China. Great Egreats are found in most of the world's tropical and temperate regions. They are also known as Great White Egrets and Great White Herons. The long feathery plumes growing from the back are called aigrettes and appear during the breeding season. Pictured below are Great White Herons which I photographed at Luther Marsh, about 1 hour from my home in south-central Ontario.
