Sunday, April 26th, 2026 at 10:17:35 PM · 2026/Yolo Bypass Wetlands
This wildlife photograph captures a Great Egret standing on a muddy island in shallow wetland waters, holding a freshly caught crayfish in its long yellow bill. The white plumage of the egret contrasts sharply against the brown mud and greenish water. Grass grows along the edges of the water, and the bird appears focused on its catch. The image demonstrates successful foraging behavior in a natural wetland habitat, likely during late afternoon given the lighting conditions.
