Pricing Your Wildlife Prints
It is estimated that only 2,000 pairs of Reddish Egrets remain in the United States. Climate change has resulted in spring heat waves that create added pressure on young reddish egrets in the nest, with fewer of them making it to adulthood. Rising sea levels permanently alter the coastal habitat these birds rely on for their homes and lives. Photo: Annalise Kaylor
