The range information on this bird seems confused - the intro says it is found in Europe Asia and Africa, but then we mention it in the Bahamas and Australia - can anyone sort it out? seglea 20:40, 3 August 2005 (UTC)

I hope my changes help - it's difficult to be sure of the current New World range of this species, since much of the information on this dynamic species is out of date. Its not in the field guides for Venezuela or Costa Rica. Also added size, incubation and some other bits. jimfbleak 06:06, 4 August 2005 (UTC)
thanks - that looks better, and makes sense. I was a bit worried there was confusion with Snowy Egrets. seglea 18:02, 4 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Egretta dimorpha

There should be some discussion of Egretta (garzetta) dimorpha, as it isn't listed as a full species, but the differences between little and dimorphic egrets are quite substantial (greater frequency of dark morph, yellow lore year-round). Personally I would be in favour of giving dimorphic egrets their own page, which I am happy to write. Are there any other opinions? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Sambostock (talkcontribs) 07:52, 6 December 2006 (UTC).

[edit] Vandalism

The IP address 24.205.155.154 had placed "This bird does not exist it is made up from fairy tales" into the References section. Removed vandalism, but that was the IP's second use of Wiki ever - the last time it did anything before was early december, so I don't think this was any more than a random attack. Hopefully it won't happen again!

[edit] Picture Discussion

This needs a place somewhere; I have a better one for the taxobox.
