Egret
at Sunrise
by David Krohne
Each photograph I’ve taken on
biology field trips with students is a reminder of the opportunities my
students have had to study these creatures and systems up close. They gain
not only essential field training during these trips, but a deeper appreciation
for these wild places, as well.
This photo of an egret at sunrise during the advanced ecology field trip
to Florida is pretty typical of what we observe. We wake up early, before
dawn, and most of my students see more sunrises during that week than they’ve
seen their entire lives!
