Description
Great Egrets breed in colonies in trees close to large lakes with reed beds or other extensive wetlands, preferably at height of 10–40 feet. It begins to breed at 2–3 years of age. The male selects the nest area, starts a nest, and then attracts a female. The nest, made of sticks and lined with plant material, could be up to 3 feet across. Up to six bluish green eggs are laid at one time. Both sexes incubate the eggs and the incubation period is 23–26 days. The young are fed by regurgitation by both parents and they are able to fly within 6–7 weeks.
