EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print by John Cancalosi, we are treated to a magnificent sight straight from the marshes of Louisiana. Meet CAN-2932, the Great Egret with its striking white plumage and impressive size. Standing tall at 39 inches in length and boasting an impressive wingspan of 51 inches, this elegant bird is truly a showstopper. Known for its slow and methodical stalking technique while hunting prey, our star here prefers open habitats like marshes, mangroves swamps, and mud flats. But don't be fooled by its serene appearance; this egret has quite the history! Once facing population decline due to plume hunters at the turn of the century, it has made an incredible recovery and continues to expand its range across North America. With its former names including Common Egret and American Egret (not to be confused with any company), this avian celebrity is now proudly known as the Great Egret. So next time you find yourself exploring nature's wonders in Louisiana or anywhere else in North America, keep your eyes peeled for this majestic creature perched high on tree branches – a symbol of resilience and beauty that will surely leave you awestruck.
