Typically, Reddish Egret stays along coastal Gulf of California and the coastal areas of the Gulf of Mexico. This bird was located in Chandler, AZ in an area known as Aquila Ocotillo, a business development with several ponds, a nearby canal, and some undeveloped plots of land. This area is still undeveloped enough to attract an interesting array of species, including Neotropic Cormorant, Double-Crested Cormorant, many duck species, Great Egrets, Green Heron, and Great Blue Heron. A Brown Pelican was a highlight last winter.
On some days this January there have been well over 150 Great Egrets in this area.
