Known for its habit of running back and forth while feeding, and occasionally stopping to spread its wings to create a shadow in which to lure small fish. The reddish egret is slightly bigger than the similar little blue heron, which has greenish rather than gray legs
Habitat:
San Diego river mudflats
Notes:
we had come looking for an errant tricolor heron and this bird and found both. Two lifers, one day
