This Great Egret chick is growing up fast and is very HUNGRY! You can see it here jumping up on its parent, constantly demanding more food. This little one already sports an impressive 2–3 foot wingspan—about the size of a chicken! 🪶

Score one for our native wildlife! Watched this great egret catch an invasive armored catfish at the park pond, all under the watchful eyes of a nearby coot and tricolored heron 🪶
