In Mama’s View

Visiting my brother in Florida, he noticed my camera and thought to take me to visit Wakulla Springs to photograph the animals. I was new to photography, but instantly fell in love with this magical place. Best yet, it was breeding season and many of these beautiful birds were sitting on eggs or feeding their ‘new additions.’ As our boat came around a bend, I spotted this beautiful Great Egret with her 3 (visible) babies.

A Meal for Great Egret Chicks

After waiting for about an hour, two Great Egret nestlings receive a feeding from one of their parents. The hungry egret chicks grab at the parent’s head and attempts to shake loose food as it is regurgitated.
