Great Egret Catches Crawfish at Wetland

Great Egret Catches Crawfish at Wetland

Sunday, April 26th, 2026 at 10:30:29 PM · 2026/Yolo Bypass Wetlands

This wildlife photograph captures a Great Egret with its fresh catch - a crawfish firmly grasped in its orange bill. The white-plumed bird emerges from green grasses along a shallow water's edge, with dried seed heads framing the right side of the composition. The soft, blurred background of murky wetland water creates excellent separation from the subject. The image freezes a moment of successful hunting, with the crawfish's legs visibly dangling from the egret's bill.
