The Great Egret hatchlings are getting bigger every day!! There are quite a few nests this year (yay!) so we’re seeing chicks at all different stages of growth, including the slightly older ones (top photos) and the more recently hatched (bottom photos).

Great Egrets were keeping close watch on their eggs when I began this post. I went away for two weeks, and now the new chicks are already growing fast! I’d better get back to take some photos before the little ones fledge!
