潘塔纳尔的一只大白鹭(A great egret in the Pantanal)

在巴西潘塔纳尔地区宁静的水域中，一只精致的白鹭小心翼翼地走在睡莲漂浮的叶子之间。这些鸟可以通过调节暴露在阳光下的时间和它们自己的翅膀来控制体温。它们通常是一夫一妻制，结成一对，在几个繁殖季节保持在一起。在交配过程中，它们会进行令人印象深刻的仪式，包括舞蹈和发声，以加强夫妻之间的联系。

Walking carefully between the floating leaves of water lilies is a delicate white egret in the tranquil waters of the Pantanal region, Brazil. These birds can regulate their body temperature by adjusting exposure to the sun and their own wings to control body heat. They are usually monogamous, forming pairs that remain together for several breeding seasons. During mating, they perform impressive rituals, including dances and vocalisations, to strengthen the couple's bond.
