	Species Name
		The Snowy Egret, Egretta thula, in a tidal mudflat.
		Egretta thula is a member of the Order Ciconiiformes (Herons and storks) which encompasses the long-necked wading birds.
		In foraging efficiency, the snowy egret falls between the little blue heron (Egretta caerulea) and the tricolored heron in terms of striking efficiency, the percentage of strikes that result in capture and ingestion of prey.

	Auk, The: Effects of body size and sex on foraging territoriality of the Little Egret (Egretta garzetta) in Japan (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		ABSTRACT.-I studied the characteristics of foraging territoriality in the Little Egret (Egretta garzetta) and effects of body size and sex on territoriality.
		Sixty-eight birds were captured and sexed, and foraging behavior (usage of area, defense rate, and foraging efficiency) of 26 birds identified by color bands was observed in detail for 3 years.
		THE LITTLE EGRET (Egretta garzetta) forages in a variety of social contexts, ranging from solitary foraging to large flock foraging.

		From 1992 to 1997 helminth collections were examined from 67 birds of 6 species: Botaurus stellaris (bittern), 3 individuals; Nycticorax nycticorax (night heron), 6; Egretta alba (great white egret), 1; Egretta garzetta (little egret), 16; Ardea cinerea (grey heron), 31; Ardea purpurea (purple heron), 10.

		Ardea cinerea and Egretta alba are invaded by Pygidiopsis genata, Cryptocotyle concavum, Cryptocotyle lingua and Maritrema subdolum, a clear indication that on the Swan Islands thay prefer sea habitats.

	Great Egret, Casmerodius albus
		This is a large heron, distinguished from other white herons by its size and the fl line which extends from the gape to behind the eye.
		There are 4 subspecies; alba, egretta, modesta and the African ssp (pictured above) melanorhynchos which are distinguished by the colouration of the bare skin.
		They are mainly aquatic feeders taking fish, amphibians, insects, snakes and crustaceans but they will also take terrestrial prey such as lizards and small mammals.

	Mystery Egret, Cupsogue New York - 4 June 2004 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		The leg color seems to rule out juvenile Little Blue Heron (Egretta caerulea), which is white, has blue facial skin, blue base to the bill and may have head plumes.
		For comparison here are a couple of shots of a breeding-plumage Little Egret (Egretta garzetta garzetta) taken in Italy in mid April 2004.
		Overall I don't think there is reason to consider Western Reef Heron for the NY bird but it is good to keep an open mind and learn more about the identification of egrets at the same time.

	Intermediate Egret – Egretta ( Ardea ) intermedia, First for Israel, November 2004
		Intermediate Egret – Egretta (Ardea) intermedia, First for Israel, November 2004
		As its name implies, Intermediate Egret measures around 90 cm, which is the intermediate size between the Great Egret (Egretta alba) and the smaller Little (Egretta garzetta) and Cattle Egrets (Bubulcus ibis).
		One can recognise an Intermediate Egret by its all-white plumage, shorter neck compared to Great Egret, and thick set bill varying from yellowish in non breeding birds to red/flish in breeding adults.
