Description

Original caption:

Adult and two chicks.

The adult at nest, from appearance is non-breeding with yellow bill, pale green lores. What is it doing with two chicks? Is there cooperative feeding of chicks within the colony?

Normally I would not post this as the chicks are not fledged but this colony is in a high security area and any would be nest robbers are likely to be shot.

Great Egret Ardea alba ssp Ardea alba modesta (Clements 5th. and 6th. Ed.) Ardea modesta (Split?)

Location: Tamarind tree, beside a main road, Semarang, Central Java, Indonesia. Large colony secure within the perimeter of the base of a unit of the armed forces. 23rd. March 2008
