The vivid green lores on the Great Egret‘s face, and their feathery, bridal veil-like plumes, or aigrettes, mark the breeding season of these stunning birds (All About Birds)!
Great Egret nesting time again~!❤️

This time of year always looks like it was training day at the rookeries for new make-up artists!
Those green lores can be seen a mile away. What beautiful photographs of a magnificent bird.
Hope your new week will be fabulous!
