About the Great Egret (Ardea Alba)  

I am going to do my blog on the Great Egret because of the beauty of the animal and the cool way they grab food. The Great Egret has beautiful feathers that flow in the wind when they fly. ( The Great Egret’s scientific name is Ardea Alba.) The habitats of this wonderful bird are marshes, lakes,bays, and estuaries. On our field trip we were in an estuary. The Great Egret was the first thing we saw. The bird was slowly walking around trying to find prey. The Egret was trying to find a tiny fish or crabs to eat without disturbing the creatures. The organism eats frogs, tiny fish, tiny crabs, snakes and crickets. Overall I loved the trip and seeing all the different kinds of organisms, but I think the Egret was the most outstanding.
