Description

A pair of Great Egrets working together to add a stick to their nest.
Sometimes, the stick is still attached to the tree and they have to tug hard repeatedly to break it off. They sometimes just give up!

Terrific nest building activity, Sandy. I like that both are working it. Nice catch and great composition.

Hi Sandy
The interaction is really nice and the feather detail and white are great.

Nice, Sandy, though I could see the conversation as “No! It belongs here!” as well as being cooperative. I guess it depends on the mood of the beholder.

Nice story being told here, Sandy. Very good feather detail.
