13 Subjects, 570 Images
People sometimes refer to herons, egrets, and bitterns as ‘Waders’. They are predators who will hunt about anything they think they can swallow. Some, like the Great Blue Heron and the Great Egret, are stealthy ambush hunters. Others, like the Snowy and Reddish Egrets, are active hunters and flush prey with their movement capturing these items as they scurry out of one hiding place in search of another.
