Clark Pond/ Reddish Egret

Walking through the Coolidge Reservation the other day came across a beautiful Reddish Egret.  According to Wikipedia a Reddish Egret is a small heron.  It is a resident breeder in Central America, Bahamas, Caribbean, the Gulf coast of the United States and Mexico.  There is post-breeding dispersal to well north of the nesting range.  In the past, this bird was a victim of the plume trade.  According to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, there are only 1,500 to 2,000 nesting pairs of Reddish Egrets in the U.S. and most of these are in Texas.  This beautiful bird is classified as “threatened” and receive special protection.
