Wild Delmarva

Using its more than 50 inch wingspan for balance, a Great Egret stands precariously atop a bush in a Delmarva heron rookery. This beautiful bird is the symbol of the National Audubon Society, one of the first environmental organizations in America. In fact, the Audubon Society was founded to help protect birds from being killed for their feathers.
