Sunday, April 26th, 2026 at 10:14:23 PM · 2026/Yolo Bypass Wetlands
A white great egret wades through muddy shallow water in a wetland habitat, surrounded by green rice stalks and dried vegetation. The bird's neck is gracefully curved downward in a characteristic hunting posture, with its yellow bill pointed toward the water. The scene captures the bird in its natural foraging environment, partially obscured by tall grasses in the foreground and background, creating natural framing. The wetland setting shows a mix of active rice cultivation and natural marsh habitat, typical of managed wetland areas.
