Egrets An Egret is any of several herons, most of which are white or buff, and several of which develop fine plumes (usually milky white) |
during the breeding season. Many egrets are members of the Egretta or Ardea which contain other species named as herons rather than egrets. |
The distinction between a heron and an egret is rather vague, and depends more on appearance than biology. |
