Here is a juvenile Great Blue Heron - largest heron in North America - an adult with seasonal aigrettes, here with a young one in the nest still, although old enough to have started turning grey/blue. Like the (snow white) Great Egret, the adults grow fine aigrettes (fan-like crown feathers) during mating/nesting season. And the youngsters for a time, sport this sort of "punk"/Mohican look. This family here is next door neighbors to a large nest of Great Egrets, with equally energetic chicks and with parents sporting beautiful aigrettes during mating season. Here is the Great White Egret family next door (from last spring): Great Egret in Breeding Plumage http://www.fenichel.com/nature/7946-Great_Egret-spring-plumage.jpg Video of Great Egret Family @ youtu.be/pOnQzoRugnY (https://youtu.be/pOnQzoRugnY) And many more birds nesting on Flickr and my own online rookery. ;) #birds #nature #photography #myphotos #Fenfotos #herons #egrets #aigrettes

📷 C’est confirmé, pour le troisième jour en #Brenne (toujours à 35°), on va troquer nos casquettes de randonneurs pour celles, moins physiquement exigeantes, de photographes animalier. Une première visite le matin au petit observatoire de #Bénisme puis de Massé-Foucault nous confirme le potentiel de la #réserve sur le plan #ornithologie : on observe #aigrettes, #vanneaux, #balbuzards et même quelques #limicoles.
