Long-legged Waders



Long-legged Waders are those birds with long legs (& usually necks) often seen wading near waters edge. They are largely fish eaters, as evidenced by their long dagger shaped bills. Their necks can contract and expand tremendously, and faster than the eye can follow, when striking prey. KMHRP is a great place to see them well, with many types usually present. They include Herons, Egrets, Bitterns, and Ibis.
