22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Egret Highway
On July 28, 2023, in Baihezui Village, Mingyue Town, Huaying City, Sichuan Province, China, flocks of white egrets flew under the sunset, next to the Huangmaduqu River Bridge on the Shanghai Chengdu Expressway. In recent years, the forest coverage along the Qujiang River in Guang'an City, Sichuan Province has increased, and the ecological environment has continued to improve, attracting birds such as egrets, pond herons, grey herons, and cattle backed herons to breed and inhabit here.
