How do egrets keep their homes?

Wild egrets, like many birds, are timid, very alert and difficult to approach. Generally, the distance from human beings is not less than 50 meters. Where there is no shelter, she has drifted to a place 0/00 meters away from you/kloc. Egrets, like other birds, are very wary of tubes and Homo erectus, which may be that human fear of hunting has been incorporated into their genes.

Egrets are afraid of people, but they are very close to human beings. In the fields, hills and mountains, swamps, lakes and beaches where human beings live, they can often be seen as snow-white figures. In the no-man's land of barren hills and wild places, there are few traces of egrets' activities. This may be because there are few raptors or beasts in human settlements, and human activities objectively protect egrets. The places where egrets live and breed are generally close to the village, and they are particularly close. They migrate from south to north with warm and humid air from March every year, and enter the breeding season in April. At this time, egrets will gather in the leeward and sunny place next to the hut near the swamp lake to nest. Strong adult egrets will choose to settle in the highest, best and safest canopy in the forest, while weak ones can only choose a poor location to settle down. These places not only have poor eyesight, insufficient sunshine and no ventilation, but also have to bear the feces scattered by egrets from time to time. In order to compete for reproduction and survival rights, struggles happen all the time. The fight between egrets, expect the unexpected. It really means to fight, and it happens in an instant, but it is one of the wonderful themes of shooting egrets.

Egrets have the habit of loving their nests, and the places where they gather and breed are relatively fixed. Where did they nest the first year, and they will definitely come again the next year. Year after year, they gather more and more, reaching tens of thousands or tens of thousands, so many that little egrets can fall from trees because there is no food.

Egrets will grow two very beautiful and striking feathers on their heads during the breeding period, which look like braids, commonly known as "breeding feathers" or "braided feathers"; There will be withered feathers on the chest and back of the Chinese egret, which are called "marriage feathers". The exposed parts of the eyes and beak changed from yellow-green to pale pink, and the eyes were red before mating. In estrus, the great egret's face will turn bright blue-green, and its legs will turn red. In estrus, the wings are constantly spreading, changing different postures, the wings are stretched, white feathers are clearly visible, and the roots are numerous, which is very beautiful. When courting and mating, the male and female egrets dance up and down, dance left and right, chase each other, and love comes with affection. The egret photographed at this time is the most beautiful, gentle and virtuous, amazingly beautiful and the easiest to shine. For photographers, this time must not be missed.

Once the egrets tied the knot, they began to build their own warm families. Every day, in pairs, we pick up the branches of nests everywhere, one by one, and build nests again and again. We never tire of it. There are also egrets who don't obey the rules and try to save trouble. They will do trivial things and steal the fruits of other people's labor. These scenes will have a lot of dramatic storylines.
