The reddish egret, or blue-footed egret, is a medium-sized bird with a long neck and very bright blue legs. It lives on the seashores of warm regions and hunts in shallow waters.
The rufous heron differs from other herons with its bright blue legs and very active hunting method with spread wings. It is important for nature because it controls the population of small fish and invertebrates on the coasts.
