Anyone who spends time in nature has seen groups of birds flying up and around.
These images show a bunch of snowy egrets as they flew above and around me for a couple of minutes.
The group names for birds amuse me.
A bunch of egrets is called various names. I like "wedge" best, but they are also called a "congregation," a "skewer," a "siege," and a "sedge."
There were more snowy egrets up there. I cropped to keep the group tight.
A "wedge" of egrets is most often used to describe egrets flying in a formation, so I'll use it today.

They are incredible and you're right about those names, perhaps an old pilot came up with those names! Or captain!
Beautiful photos.
Great pictures. I've never seen so many egrets in one place. I'm thrilled seeing just one not to mention actually photographing it. Very nice work!!
Jack, you got great action shots of these Egrets. Now I know where all our Egrets are spending the winter.
Wonderful, Jack.
