Description
Wildlife photograph by Dawn Currie. A White Morph Reddish Egret chasing off the more common Dark Morph. Photographed in Sebastian Inlet State Park in central Florida.
The Reddish Egret (Egretta rufescens) is a medium to large heron that occurs in two color morphs: dark (reddish-brown) and a much more scarce white morph. The dark morph is bluish gray overall with a rusty neck and head, blue-gray legs and a black bill. The white morph has all white plumage, blue-gray legs and a black bill. In breeding plumage the base of the bill becomes pink in both morphs.
