Description
This photo was taken in the Cypress Swamp area, of the Loxahatchee National Wildlife refuge, west of Delray Beach, Florida. The Great White Egret is widely distributed across southern Europe, across the Sun Belt of the United States and in the rainforests of South America. They stand up to 3.3 ft (1 meter) tall, and have a wingspan of 52 to 67 inches (131 to 170 cm). Body weight can range from 1.5 to 3.3 pounds (700 to 1,500 grams). Some info from Wikipedia. Photo taken a few years ago with my old Minolta. Zoom for a closer look.
Thanks for stopping by, taking a look and for all your previous favs and comments. They are very much appreciated.
