Hmm would you like to date?
From January to March, the Great Egret, Ardea Alba comes into the wetlands of Florida to find a mate. They will display fantastic white tufts of plummage to allure the girl. Their eye leather turns a vivid green. Photographed at Wakodahatchee Wetlands, Florida. Here a male very sheepishly displays his wonderful plumage and tilts his head as if seeking acceptance from the female.
