handmade ghost

Here is one of the harried egret parents of the hatchlings my daughter and I have been watching on a local mountainside. E seems to be taking a break from tending the nest (eir partner stayed behind with the littles) to stretch eir wings and literally shake a tailfeather.

Photo of a large, adult, white heron lighting on the delicate tip of a thin pine branch full with needles. Eir wings are raised behind em, ready to close like an umbrella, and e appears to glow against the pale blue sky as the sun reaches its zenith behind em (just off camera).
Photo of the same large white heron, tipped low over eir long legs, wings partially lifted behind em as eir long bill and head poise to strike out at some pine needles e wishes to gather from eir perch. E looks simultaneously awkwardly canted--tailfeathers lifted and aglow--and intentionally elegant.
Photo of the same gorgeous, glowing egret, standing now demurely on eir pine branch, eir wings closed but slightly lifted to accommodate a bit of fulling e's doing with eir tailfeathers, which look, in the bright morning sunlight, like an intricate, glowing silk and tulle bustle.
