Description: Snowy Egret (Egretta thula) in full breeding plumage. The striking color of the lores does not last long, and seems to occur at the very peak of the mating hormonal surge. West Ninth Street colony, Santa Rosa, California. The birds are nesting in exotic Eucalyptus trees, in the median strip of a busy road in a residential district of the city!
