The movement, repeated every few minutes and accompanied by a honking call, served to keep other birds from settling on the branches of the bush where the egret had built its nest.
Defending that little bit of turf around its bush was a full-time occupation, for the egret had chosen to nest in the heart of one of Alabama’s largest shorebird rookeries.
The egret’s nest sits on a small island in the Mississippi Sound, an old oyster reef that barely rises above the surrounding sea. The highest points are covered in dense, waist-high vegetation, where the birds nest.
For more than 100 years, according to historical records, this island has served as a rookery. While a number of species are represented, the island has long been dominated by the white ibis — a chicken-sized bird with spindly legs and an elegant curving bill colored a flamboyant red.
