As the flooding on Red River continues it creates plenty of new areas for large shore birds like the Great Egret to spend the day hunting.
These birds are a little smaller than the Herons…being pure white in color and easily spotted.
During breeding season they have a noticeable patch of lime green coloration from the eyes to the bill…later in the season this green will turn white once again.
We humans don’t appreciate the flooding but all the shore birds and waders certainly do and take advantage of their new found ponds.
