Tandem reflections. This pair of Great Egrets persisted in following a visitor from the south, a juvenile Roseate Spoonbill, around the marsh last July, despite its frequent calls telling them to back off.


Two Great Egrets (large, lanky, long-necked herons with black legs, and pointed yellow bills) standing at the edge of dark marsh foliage in water and vegetation, both facing right with their wings raised to a vertical position, their reflections visible in the dark water. They are standing on either side of a juvenile Roseate Spoonbill (wading bird with pale pink feathers and a large, flat spoon-shaped bill) that is behind vegetation and bent over foraging, so it is just a tiny pop of pink in the center.

    My favorite bird in a pink-hued flap.
