Thanks Stefania unfortunately I had not seen them again in such a big group, still they are there but in group of 10 to 12 only at same place,,
My mom always calls the great egrets we see "cowbirds", because she grew up on a farm and they were always out in the pasture. I assume these are what she is talking about?
That's crazy! They almost look like decorative lights!! What an amazing sight it must've been!
@ Stian Waaler, this was on my way to office, I everyday see them busy in their routine eating habits with cattle, that day all get to gather over that wire, really nice to see them ,, ,, ,,
Wow, fantastic! It must have been amazing to be there to look at them...
very VERY nice! I have never seen egrets all perched on a line like that before! :)
That's too funny! Looks like they used a ruler to space themselves!! Nice shots!
