Sleuthing Reddish Egret

Reddish Egrets are very amusing to watch when they are feeding. Unlike Great Blue Herons that will stand motionless for long periods of time waiting for an unwary fish or frog, Reddish Egrets run around, sometimes appearing to jump up and down, scaring up a fish in the water. The egret may spread its wings to create a shadow in the water to make the fish more visible. In all, a most unusual and amusing display.
