Great Egret In Mating Plumage Wall Plaque Giclee Painting Roseate Spoonbill wall art Leucism is a genetic mutationThe majestic Great Egret gets more dressed up during mating season. A patch of skin on its face turns neon green, and long plumes grow from its back. Those plumes nearly brought the great egret to extinction during the late 1800 when they were hunted for these aigrettes (long plumes). Saw this one while boating through the Narrows in Pinellas County. Such a beautiful creature, so majestic and stately. This beautiful giclee is perfectly color matched,
