Great Egret Catches Crayfish in Flooded Wetland
Sunday, April 26th, 2026 at 10:17:34 PM · 2026/Yolo Bypass Wetlands
A pristine white Great Egret stands in shallow, muddy water with a freshly caught crayfish in its sharp yellow bill. The bird is positioned on a small muddy island or sandbar surrounded by brown floodwater, with stubble from recently planted or harvested crops visible in the background. Water droplets fall from the captured prey, capturing the exact moment of a successful hunt. The wetland setting appears to be flooded agricultural land, creating temporary habitat that attracts feeding wading birds.
