Reddish Egret — size comparison — facts and sources
The reddish egret feeds in shallow coastal bays and saline lagoons of North America and the Caribbean. It often runs and changes direction abruptly while hunting. Spread wings may shade water to help spot fish.
It chiefly eats small fish and also crustaceans. Breeding colonies form; adults bring prey to nest-bound young.
