On January 5, 2018, about twenty Great Egrets and a couple of Snowy Egrets showed up at pond 2 at Gilbert Water Ranch in Gilbert, Arizona. They were mostly resting. But, this particular Great Egret was sitting low in the water until it finally dipped its head in the pond to start a bathing ritual. These are a few of the images that I captured during that morning.
