Sunday, April 26th, 2026 at 10:13:55 PM · 2026/Yolo Bypass Wetlands
A solitary Great Egret stands in shallow muddy water surrounded by rice field stubble and emerging green shoots. The elegant white bird is captured in a hunting posture with its characteristic long neck curved in an S-shape and its yellow bill pointed downward, scanning the water for prey. The wetland setting shows a mix of brown dried vegetation from the previous season and vibrant green new growth reflecting in the still water. The background displays dense rows of rice plants, creating a layered natural composition typical of managed wetland habitats.
