There is water in the pond and the Snowy Egrets can bathe again.
From the look of their plumage pairing off and nest building time is almost here. The yellow lore ahead of the eye will turn crimson when hormones reach a peak, some red is starting to show now.
I've missed my little pond, it's been dry too much this winter. The birds could ice skate on it last year, nothing but frozen mud on the cold days this year.

As soon as I saw your title, I knew you would be sharing your beloved egrets. Thanks!
Would you mind if I share a pic of one of my ‘neighbors’ who is building a nest in a palm by my lanai?

Ready to build a nest. It’s interesting to see how species isolated on islands differ from mainland cousins.
