🌏 Pacific reef heron (Egretta sacra) The Pacific reef heron, also known as the Eastern reef heron or Eastern reef egret, is a medium-sized heron with a unique appearance. It exhibits two distinct colour morphs: a dark morph, which is predominantly gray, and a light morph, which is entirely white. Both morphs have short, yellow legs, a brown bill, and yellow eyes. This adaptable bird inhabits coastal areas throughout the eastern Pacific, including rocky shores, mangroves, and estuaries. It is a skilled hunter, using its sharp beak to spear fish, crustaceans, and other small prey. 1.5 Flash (Edited) Conservation status: Least Concern (IUCN 3.1) 📷: Photo by Docujeju via Pixabay GQPS
