Description
Until I looked up, I didn't know Snowy Egrets roosted in trees. I have since found out that during mating season these egrets roost in trees. I'm not sure about that however, since I have gone back at different times of the year and the egrets can still be found up in the trees.
This group is settling down for the night at Craig Regional Park, Fullerton, California. Craig Regional Park has many different visitors throughout the year, but the coyotes seem to be year round. Maybe that's why these birds stay in the trees all year.
In the early 1900's, the Snowy Egret population had reached dangerously low levels due to hunting for it's beautiful white feathers and plumes. The Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918 was put in place and now this beautiful bird's numbers have greatly increased.
This painting earned an award from the Placentia Yorba Linda Art Association.
