- Comments:
Reddish Egrets are typically found along the coast. Although usually reddish, there
is also a white color morph. Both morphs have blue legs and a pink-based black-tipped
bill. Feathers on the head give breeding adults a shaggy appearance. Unlike the stealthy
techniques used by other egrets and herons, Reddish Egrets hold out their wings and run
and lurch in an erratic fashion while chasing fish and other prey in shallow water.

occur in small numbers or are found only in localized sites within the Great Plains.
