Description
This elegant Great White Egret sporting its delicate breeding plumage was spotted near dusk in the treetops of a heron rookery that is located right next to the Ocean City Welcome Center in New Jersey. Located along a bridge that leads into Ocean City, the Welcome Center has a walkway that overlooks a rookery that is frequented by herons, egrets, ibises, and other birds. It is especially rewarding to visit the rookery near dusk when many of these birds return from their daily travels to roost in the rookery overnight. This special rookery is a birdwatcher’s paradise and a great spot for photographers and nature lovers.
