Great Egret Rookery in Louisiana 2009

The Rookery is occupied mostly by Great Egrets, hundreds of them, but they share their space with anhingas, tri-color herons, yellow-crowned night herons, little green herons, little blue herons, alligators, turtles, and snakes. A balance of nature.

This satisfies my craving to see herons, egrets though vicariously through pictures. It would be much appreciated if anybody could post something of a place or rookery located anywhere in the Philippines as these beautiful birds are likewise seen in the area, even in Paranas and Motiong, Samar. Thanks to all concerned for these wonderful bird gallery.
