Mexico Migration Great Egret

The great egret, a partially migratory species, travels from Canada and the northern United States to warmer southern regions during winter. It uses the Rio Grande in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, as a resting and feeding point. The barbed wire installed along the border impacts not only migrants but also these birds, which can become trapped, suffer injuries, or even die, while also facing restricted access to essential water and food sources.
