(R)egrets…Had some. Like when you decide to lie down for a few minutes, but then wake up at 3 a.m. with ruffled feathers and the lights on. What day is it? I’m up. I’m up. In the elegant and dignified world of herons, Reddish Egrets are the adventurous and daring cousins always on the move. They love to put on a show as they forage in shallow waters, racing back and forth, fluttering their wings, stirring up sediment, and swooping low in pursuit of a snack. It’s a social species except when feeding (same), when they aggressively (egret does not simply share food) defend feeding territories from others. 📷A reddish egret with ruffled feathers @EvergladesNPS #egret #birdsofinstagram #ruffled #sleepy #justwokeup #everglades #florida #nationalparks #whatdayisit
