Although we see Reddish Egrets fairly common when on our Florida birding trips and have a separate blog featuring them, Cuba has a white morph Reddish Egret.
A fairly large, powerfully built but elegant heron. Reddish Egrets have long, sturdy legs, long necks, and thick, daggerlike bills
Dark morph adults are rich grayish blue bodies with vivid pinkish-cinnamon head and neck. White morph adults are snow white overall. Both morphs have two-toned bills: pink at the base and black at the tip. Legs are cobalt blue.
