Lugar: El Paraíso, al este de Higuerote, costa noreste de Barlovento, centro norte de Venezuela. Sobre la rama de un mangle junto al cují donde anidaba la reinita común, hallé a esta estática garza blanca real, como embelesada frente a su reflejo.
Place: El Paraíso, east from Higuerote, noreastern coastal Barlovento, north centre Venezuela. On a mangrove branch, beside the sponge tree selected by a Bananaquit for nesting, I have found this statical Great Egret, one would say that fascinated in front of its reflected image.
