On one of the floating Uros islands in lake Titicaca I saw this beautyful white heron.

On January 9th I was lucky enough to photograph a Kōtuku (White heron) down at the Waimanu Lagoon in Waikanae. There are only 150-200 in all of New Zealand, so it is quite rare to see them outside their nesting ground in Waitangiroto Nature Reserve.

An image of a Great Egret that I titled So Shy but in actuality, he was preening his feathers and I loved the way the sunshine was backlighting his beautiful white plumage. We just never know what we’ll see when we go out.

Watching and photographing birds is my favorite pastime and living in Florida affords us many opportunities to observe our abundant birding community. Caught this Great Egret beauty doing a fly-by at the beach late one summer afternoon. #GreatEgret #egret #heron #whiteheron #birds #birdlovers #birding #photography #BirdPhotography #MastoPhotography #Fediverse #ArtMatters #FediGiftShop #LoveArt #AYearForArt

I saw a mythical White Heron at Farewell Spit. It's quite lovely. There are only 200 in New Zealand. In other parts of the world they are call Great Egrets. #Bird #Birds #WhiteHeron #GreatEgret #farewellspit #tasman #NewZealand

Finally starting to go through some #newzealand #photos .

These were taken a couple of days ago at (and along the way to) the white heron sanctuary.

These white herons have only one nesting site in all of NZ. While they live all over the country, the herons will always return here, and ONLY here for nesting. Their homing abilities must be remarkable.

I wonder what it is about this exact site? They won’t even nest on the other side of the river. They’ve confined themselves to this one specific 20-30 metre radius.

I’ll post more when I finally get to processing and cropping 😅
