Reddish Egret (Egretta rufescens), Paloma Ranch, near Gila Bend, Maricopa County

This Reddish Egret was discovered and photographed by Bill Grossi on 07 November 2011.

This Egret is a casual to rare visitor, particularly to southwestern Arizona. There are 16 prior Maricopa Co. records.

Uniform blue-gray heron with some reddish highlights, dark gray legs and long, heavy dark bill identify this as an immature Reddish Egret.
