Breeding ecology and habitat use of North America’s rarest Ardeidae: the Reddish Egret Egretta rufescens

Abstract: The Reddish Egret (Egretta rufescens) remains underrepresented in waterbird research despite its status as the rarest heron in North America and a near-threatened species. The Reddish Egret is also a habitat specialist, and is restricted to shallow, coastal wetlands throughout its range. We utilized GPS-equipped platform terminal transmitters to examine the breeding ecology of Reddish Egrets (n = 28) in Texas. Although individuals exhibited varying degrees of fidelity to specific colonies, there was fidelity t… Show more

“…We trapped adult reddish egrets (n = 30) in late May–June during 2010–2012 and 2014 on nine breeding colonies in the Laguna Madre, Texas, using modified noose mats placed within 1 m of the nest (Koczur et al 2018a). Colonies were located ~ 0.1–65 km apart and we captured 1–7 egrets on each colony across years.…”

“…Colonies were located ~ 0.1–65 km apart and we captured 1–7 egrets on each colony across years. We did not assess colony as a predictor of migratory status given the small sample sizes from each colony and because individuals did not nest at the same colony each year (Koczur et al 2018a). We weighed (g) each individual with a spring scale, and measured (mm) central culmen, head length, tarsus length, and middle toe length.…”
