An immature reddish egret, Egretta rufescens, feels the wind on a hot summer day on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Reddish egrets were hunted almost to extinction by plume hunters in the 1800’s. They have made a slow comeback, and there are currently about 4000 in the United States today. Visit my website for more pics. Www.jessiejacoby.com
