An egret flies from its perch located in a tree at Back Bay National
Wildlife Refuge south of Sandbridge. Egrets are among a group of
birds considered colonial nesting birds. They take to the trees in
colonies and in their mating season, which is May and June, says
Gary Williamson, chief ranger at False Cape State Park. by CNB
