Description
GREAT EGRET ON THE LOOKOUT is a digital photograph by Carla Parris taken in St. Marks Wildlife Preserve in northwest Florida, near Tallahassee, in March, 2015.
This beautiful Great Egret, silhouetted against the clear blue sky, is on the lookout from his perch high atop a tall pine tree.
The Great Egret, also known as a Common Egret or American Egret, is a large, all-white heron with a yellow bill, black legs, and, in breeding season, long lacy plumes on its back.
The Great Egret is the symbol of the National Audubon Society.
St. Marks Wildlife Preserve, on the Gulf Coast, is a nature lover's delight. The park is particularly popular with birdwatchers and photographers.
The palette of this piece, in panoramic landscape format, is blue and brown, with white accents.
