This is a similar photo published earlier. This one has the mother’s head turned to give her a greater connection to her hatchlings. This photo was taken at the W. 9th Street rookery, Santa Rosa, California.
Just lovely once again. The translusence of her outstretched wing is excellent. Getting that level of fine detail in Egret wings is difficult. And of course you have captured such a tender intimate connection between mother and chick.

Thank you. White is not easy to control. Too much light and it burns out with no recovery.
