Balding Egret

Monday, August 11, 2008

I took this shot almost two weeks ago on the Lower Carmans River. It’s a Great Egret with a receding hairline. I’ve never seen this before and I’m not really sure what is happening here. If anyone knows, please clue me in. Is this guy molting? Is there a parasite at work here? Could it be a sign of disease? Or is it simply a case of male pattern baldness? I know your pain big guy.
