Rails are chicken-like in shape and rather secretive.

Crane like bird with yellow beak. Herons curve their necks into an S shape and when they are flying they pull them totally back while cranes necks stick straight out. However they are often mistaken for several other types of birds which look quite similar. Cranes are known as the worlds tallest flying birds.

Feeds primarily on seeds. All species within Rallidae are marshy wetland birds with similar sexes. The size and shape of a grey heron but pure white except for black legs and a bright yellow dagger of a beak easy to spot even at long distances.

The females are more subdued in color. In fact the difference between egrets and herons is not biological and there is no clear distinction. Increasing numbers of great white egret are wintering on marshlands and lakes throughout Britain and there have been successful breeding attempts on the Somerset Levels and in eastern England.

Whether stepping singly across a wet meadow or filling the sky by the hundreds and thousands Sandhill Cranes have an elegance that draws attention. The Demoiselle Crane is the smallest crane species while the Sarus Crane is the tallest crane species. They can grow tall up to 1-18 meters.

Cranes necks are a shorter than those of herons and they typically hold them straight. Cattle egrets and snowy egrets are smaller than what was in the wetland. This is understandable because both herons and most egret species belong to the heron family known as Ardeidae.

This large finch-billed honeycreeper is endemic to Hawaii. Egrets are with predatory birds that hunt and live in a range of both freshwater and saltwater habitats. Though they look like a combination of a goose and a loon they are relatives of frigatebirds and boobies and are a common sight around fresh and salt water across North Americaperhaps attracting the most attention when they stand on docks rocky islands and channel.

The gangly Double-crested Cormorant is a prehistoric-looking matte-black fishing bird with yellow-orange facial skin. Cattle egrets have lighter legs and snowy egrets have black legs with yellow feet. They group together in great numbers filling the air with distinctive rolling cries.

The Sandhill Crane is a large bird which has a light-grey plumage although during the breeding season it can become stained with mud a long neck red forehead white cheeks and chin yellow eyes long grey beak and long dark-grey legs. This is particularly obvious when the birds are flying. Both sexes are alike.

Egrets are commonly mistaken for herons. Cranes also have shorter beaks than herons. That meant that what we saw was a great egret.

They vary between 35-69 inches in length and 6-12 pounds in weight. Snowy egrets also have black beaks that are quite thin. It has a yellow head with black lores separated from a gray back by a distinct line.

Gallinules and Coots are more duck-like. These birds are usually white have S-shaped necks long legs and dagger-like beaks. These tall gray-bodied crimson-capped birds breed in open wetlands fields and prairies across North America.
