Birds - Rarest Egret In North America - Reddish Egret

A pair of Reddish Egrets (Egretta rufescens), North America's rarest egret, along the shoreline at Fort De Soto Park in St. Petersburg, Florida, on May 19, 2026. The species is known for its energetic hunting style, sprinting and zigzagging through shallow water while spreading its wings to shade the surface and make fish easier to spot and catch.
