*** About Florida Great Egrets: Often located in wetlands and coastal areas throughout Florida, the Great Egret (Ardea alba) is a spectacular sight in Miami's diverse ecosystem. Noted for its long, slender neck, this bird stands tall with its all-white plumage often glowing against the Florida sun. These egrets are not only important as a species for maintaining the balance in aquatic environments by feeding on fish and small amphibians, they're also a symbol of environmental conservation efforts, given their once endangered status due to feather hunting in the 19th and early 20th centuries.
