All About Birds says of them, "Reddish Egrets chase fish energetically through shallow saltwater environments. They pursue fish on foot or swoop at them in flight, create shadows with their wings both to startle and to attract them, and herd them toward land. This behavior makes them distinctive even at great distances." Comments | Permalink
