The elegant Great Egret (Ardea alba) Landing
Taken on: Jun 8, 2013
The Great Egret is a dazzling sight in many a North American wetland. Slightly smaller and more svelte than a Great Blue Heron, these are still large birds with impressive wingspans. They hunt in classic heron fashion, standing immobile or wading through wetlands to capture fish with a deadly jab of their yellow bill.
What I'd really like to show is the skeletal and musculature structure of the wing's leading edge. You can see the bone and muscle in this back lit image almost like x-ray. To me the interesting thing is all that you see is a single finger that evolved into the entire wing. Those joints are the joints of a finger. The rest of the hand vanished because it wasn't needed. Some dinosaur raptor evolved into all the birds we know today. The dinosaurs never truly went extinct. They just became birds.
