He's beautiful, Kirk, but what is a white morph reddish egret? Is it a subspecies?
I haven't seen any literature that says it is a sub species. All I know is it is one of 12 other species in the Egretta genus and that it's just a white morph that breeds with the dark morph (reddish egret). They're a bit rare it seems.
