Description
The great egret is a large heron with all-white plumage. Standing up to 3.3 ft. tall, this species can measure over 3 feet in length and have a wingspan of 4 to 5 feet. This beautiful specimen was seen at the State College of Florida North Port-Venice campus.
The State College of Florida campus is about 100 acres and is open to local residents and visitors to visit to enjoy the large wetlands area which attracts many of Florida's coastal birds and wildlife to the shallow lakes and ponds. There is a paved trail around the lake and residents are invited to enjoy the natural environment. Many photographers also frequent the trail for glimpses of the beautiful coastal birds.
