The Bahamas, the Caribbean, Florida and Mexico are just some of the places that witness the spectacular coastal bird, the Reddish egret. Unfortunately, this fascinating bird is slowly declining in number and is lately becoming a rare sight.The population of reddish egret has come down drastically, with just 400 nesting pairs in Florida. In fact, the reddish egret (Egretta rufescens) is one of the rarest heron seen in America. In order to protect this bird, the reddish egret is sheltered by the U.S. Migratory Bird Treaty Act. It is also considered as a State Species of Special Concern by Florida's Endangered and Threatened Species Rule.
