A bird of the heron family in the order Ciconiiformes (illustration). It is about 85 cm long. It is completely white and is the largest species of egret. It is slightly smaller than the grey heron, hence the name Great Egret. It is distributed worldwide, and in Japan there are two types: those that breed as summer birds or migratory birds, and those that migrate from the continent in winter. The former are slightly smaller than the latter, and are sometimes distinguished as the Atlantic egret E. a . modesta (medium-sized heron). The Atlantic egret is also known as the small-legged heron (small-legged white-legged). Source: Heibonsha World Encyclopedia, 2nd Edition Information |
