The Great Egret‘s bridal veil aigrettes and vivid green lores are unmistakable markers of courtship season 💚!
Love is in the air~😌
Elegant Egret
Birder's Journey
"You must have birds in your heart before you can find them in the bushes." — John Burroughs (Journal of the Outdoor Life, v20, 1923, p. 137)
Birder's Journey 
🕊️ In nature’s ballroom, where beauty swirls, 🌿 The Elegant Egret, in courtship twirls. 💚 Bridal veil aigrettes, a delicate grace, 👰 Vivid green lores, love’s tender embrace.
Aigrettes like feathers, a bridal array, 🦢 In the dance of courtship, a display so fey. 💃 Unmistakable markers, in the egret’s attire, 🎭 Whispers of love, set the marsh on fire.
Green lores shimmer, like leaves in spring, 🌱 A symphony of courtship, where egrets sing. 🎶 In the air, a love-laden sigh, 😌 Nature’s romance, soaring high.
The Great Egret, in elegance dressed, 👗 Love’s sweet song, in its beak confessed. 🕊️ Bridal veil aigrettes, like whispers in the wind, 🌬️ In the dance of courtship, a tale unpinned.
💚🕊️🌿👰💃🎭🌱🎶😌👗🕊️🌬️

The great egrets are present throughout much, if not most of North and South America. Am I correct that you have the same great egret in Australia?

The images are beautiful! They are pretty with their green lore.
It’s looking like the season of love here as well. Last week I saw a Ruddy Duck in full breeding plumage already looking rusty, and his bill had gone full blue for love. 💙💚

Wow, what a delight to see, Deborah!! I think I’ve only seen a ruddy duck once, and don’t think it was even in breeding season.
