Photo of Great Egret in Flight at Gould’s Inlet
Great Egrets at adulthood are at least a foot or more larger than the Snowy Egret. They nest in trees and both the male and female incubate the eggs. They have the opposite bill and feet colors of the Snowy Egret with a yellow bill and black feet. In flight, the
Great Egret is a graceful and elegant bird. You can see them flying all over the island, but Gould’s Inlet is a prime location to see them up close, either in flight or wading in the water.
