Great Egrets: York County Maine, USA, September 2024 — I spent over an hour sitting at the edge of the marsh a mile inland from the mouth of the river, observing a mixed feeding flock of Egrets and Herons and took several sequences of these two as they hunted close together. They struck this pose a few times. You will have to study the image closely to see that their necks are not, in fact, entwined. It is not a knot…just a trick of perspective and the way the foreground grasses frame the birds. Still, it makes for an interesting photo.
