Egrets are white wetlands birds that are commonly found near bodies of water such as lakes, rivers, and marshes. They have long legs and necks, and their wingspan can reach up to four feet. Egrets are known for their elegant beauty and grace, and they are often seen standing still in shallow water, waiting for prey. They feed on small fish, amphibians, and insects. Egrets are also important to the environment, as they help to keep the wetlands clean by eating small animals that can cause damage to the ecosystem.
