White herons, also known as egrets, are a species of large wading birds. They are found in many parts of the world and are easily recognizable by their white feathers and long legs. Egrets are often seen near bodies of water, such as rivers, lakes, and wetlands, where they feed on fish, frogs, and other aquatic creatures. They are also known for their elaborate courtship displays, which involve the male and female birds performing a series of intricate dances.
