Great Egrets collecting nesting materials

I came to an annual nesting site for shorebirds in the Texas Gulf Coast area. In this video, you will see Great Egrets collecting nesting materials.

Nice

Thank you, as always!

Egrets are great, and film them every week, but I really love spoonbills. They're uncommon here (Savannah), and I only recall seeing 2 of them. One was flocked with juvenile Ibis, and the other was deep in the Okefenokee swamp.
Do you have any videos of baby spoonbills?

Thanks for your feedback! I subscribed to your channel so I can enjoy your Great Egret videos.
In answering your question, I don’t have any videos or pictures of baby Spoonbills but I can show you below two videos of juvenile Spoonbills chasing their mom/dad to be fed! I took those videos in early Summer (late May and early June of last year).

I also have a playlist that features Roseate Spoonbills if you’re interested in watching those pretty pink shorebirds: ruclips.net/p/PL2molViSR9Z_gGjQlESgyx3LlU0gw0bsJ.

@@birdsandbeyond4551 Thank you. I subscribed back.
I watched your spoonbill playlist. Great photos and video. Such interesting birds. I wish we had more of them here.
Those juveniles are relentless! And that rookery looks amazing. It's huge.
