Description
A Reddish Egret (Egretta rufescens) chases after fish in a lagoon on South Padre Island, Texas. This egret often draws attention by its feeding behavior: running through shallows with long strides, staggering sideways, leaping in the air, raising one or both wings, and abruptly stabbing at fish. Also notable for its two color morphs. Reddish Egrets are either dark or white for life, beginning with the downy stage in the nest.
