A colorful water bird of the Americas, the aptly named tricoloured heron (Egretta tricolor) has slate-grey upperparts that contrast with bright white underparts and reddish stripes on the neck. There are long purplish-maroon feathers on the back, the long, thin bill is orange to brown-yellow and the elongated legs are yellow or orange with thin, un-webbed toes. The tricoloured heron is even more vibrantly coloured during the breeding season, with the bill becoming bright blue with a black tip, the neck feathers bluish-purple, and the legs deep pink. A crest of white plumes also develops on the head, and the neck and shoulder feathers turn violet. It’s habit is marshes, swamps, streams and shores. In breeding season usually near salt water, on shallow, sheltered estuaries and bays, tidal marshes and mangrove swamps. The tricolored heron wades in shallow water in search of prey. Most of its diet is made up of fish, but it also eats amphibians, insects, and crustaceans. Sometimes the tri-colored heron strides or runs through the water with its wings stretched out in an attempt to flush out prey.
Although it is solitary in its feeding, it is sociable in nesting, often in very large colonies with various other herons and egrets. Formerly known as Louisiana Heron.
