A fairly large, powerfully built but elegant heron. Reddish Egrets have long, sturdy legs, long necks, and thick, daggerlike bills. The feathers of the head and neck are often extended, giving a shaggy appearance. It is quite a sight to watch them foraging. They spread their wings and create shadows on the water and are constantly moving. The fish below are unable to tell a predator is above them due to the shadows the bird creates. When it sees it's prey, it stabs it with it's long sharp bill.
