Summary

Plumed Egret 16 August 2005. This graceful bird was preening and scratching as it sat high in a tree at the Cairns Esplanade. I had trouble distinguishing this species from the larger Great Egret at first, but after a while I learned that this species has more extensive diaphanous plumes hanging from its scapulars and breast. Formerly it was called "Plumed Egret."
