SLS_5352D A Great Egret with an itch. by Sherwood Lincoln, on Flickr

In my opinion, the Great Egret one of the most elegant wading birds. The long back feathers are called aigrettes, which are displayed during courtship. "In the early 1900s, hunting reduced the Great egret population. The long white plumes Egrets were quite valuable in the millinery trade, as it was fashionable to adorn lady's hats with large feathers. In 1903, plume hunters were getting $32 an ounce for the ornate plumes".
All my bird photos are taken in South Eastern Ct. most with a Canon 7D Mark II and Canon 100 to 400II THANK YOU
