a stick-built home
When Great Egrets are nesting it is common for the male to bring sticks to the female for the nest construction. And while it was a dark and foggy morning today construction was in full-swing in this rookery. Here one large stick is delivered (top photograph) and a second smaller stick is passed between the mated pair.
