Back about 7 years ago my Dad was in a nursing home close to where he lived part time in Delray Beach, Florida. My brother told me there was a place called Wakodahatchee nearby where there were a lot of birds so I should bring my camera while visiting.

Going there, and also to nearby Green Cay, was a revelation. The same birds I couldn't get close to up north were often too close in Florida.  What a great problem !!  This is  a pair of Great Egrets in early morning light interacting on their nest a couple of days prior to egg laying.

Excellent courtship poses on the nest and the breeding plumage and breeding colors are beautiful. I've always loved the lime green lores. The warm light adds the perfect finishing touch.

Exposure handled perfectly, and you've captured a lovely courtship display between these two, Warren!
