Reddish Egrets (Egretta rufescens) are a medium to large heron of shallow salt water, often seen running, jumping, and spinning in its pursuit of fish. Photograph taken shortly after sunrise in Sebastian Inlet State Park.

Reddish egrets inhabit coastal areas, mainly on estuaries near mangroves, and lagoons. This species can be found year round on the coasts from Florida to the extreme northwest coast of Mexico, and also on the coasts from extreme southern California to Costa Rica, and extreme northwest Mexico to Belize during the winter.

The reddish egret is protected by the U.S. Migratory Bird Treaty Act and as a State Species of Special Concern by Florida's Endangered and Threatened Species Rule.
