Great Egret Wading in Shallow Wetland Waters

Sunday, April 26th, 2026 at 10:18:09 PM · 2026/Yolo Bypass Wetlands

This wildlife photograph captures a Great Egret standing in shallow, muddy water surrounded by wetland vegetation. The bird's pure white plumage and long, slender neck create a striking silhouette against the muted browns and greens of the wetland habitat. The egret appears to be in hunting mode, with its yellow bill poised and ready. The shallow water creates reflections while dead plant stems protrude from the muddy bottom, typical of seasonal wetland environments. The soft, overcast lighting provides even illumination across the scene.
