    I went to Gatorland Orlando and found their rookery full of nesting Great Egrets. This was a new hatchling as we were there, she is working on getting the egg shell out of nest. You can see another egg has not hatched

    Nice story here again, Robert, although I really wish for a nest which is a little clearner. I guess you'll just have to keep on returning!!! I have seen the adults feed on the eggs or feed them to the chicks in the past. You did a good job getting everything sharp here.
