Great Egret Preens Her Feathers

Occurred on April 4, 2023 / Orlando, Florida, USA

Info from Licensor: "A Great Egret preening (grooming) her feathers in the late afternoon light in an old tree in Orlando, Florida. This egret seemingly catches her own feather and puts it back, making sure that every feather is in place. The magic is that the video is simply reversed, making it appear the egret is very fast to snatch her own feathers midair. Egrets typically fly to an open spot to clean up and rest for the next day."
