    • All Wading Birds

    Cranes are long-necked and long-legged wading birds belonging to the Gruiformes group. Though similar in appearance to the herons, unlike herons that fly with pulled back necks, cranes fly with outstretched necks. Cranes are opportunistic feeders and eat a wide range of items like grains, berries, fish, rodents, amphibians, and more. Egrets, closely related to the herons belong to the same family of Ardeidae.

    Egrets and herons are biologically quite similar and differ only in appearance. Egrets are usually white, or buff colored and may or may not develop decorative plumes. Egrets were hunted relentlessly throughout the 19th and early 20th century for their plumes for hat-making in Europe and North America, endangering the lives of some of the egret species. Rails are birds of the family Ralidae, and are small wading birds with long toes and short wings. The birds are widely distributed, and the family is highly diversified.

    Most species of rails are associated with wetland habitats. Flamingos are wading birds with two species found in the Old World and four in the Americas. Standing on one leg while tucking the other beneath the body is a unique trait exhibited by the flamingos. The flamingos filter-feed on blue-green algae and brine shrimp and have beaks well-adapted to separate mud and silt from food.

    The herons are long-legged and long-necked coastal or freshwater birds belonging to the family Ardeidae. The group includes cranes, herons, egrets, storks, spoonbills, and ibises. Wading birds do not swim or dive to catch food; rather they wade into shallow water to obtain food not found on land. A close look at the body of a wading bird reveals obvious characteristics that are useful in a watery habitat. A long neck is an adaptation that makes it possible to strike at prey while walking around on extra-long legs.

    Long legs help keep their feathers high and dry when wading into water in search of food. Thin toes are easier to pick up and put down when walking in water and squishy mud. And those toes also disperse the weight of these big, tall birds, helping them keep their balance over their long legs.

    Wading birds eat fish, crustaceans, mollusks, and other food. Most also eat insects, small reptiles, and other prey found on land. Their bills exhibit special adaptations suited to their habitat and prey. The spear-like bills of herons and egrets are designed to grab and even stab fish.

    These beautiful birds range in size, shape and color, but they're all found at the water's edge.

    Cranes and ibises use their long bills to probe the mud and soil and forage in grass for food. The spoonbill holds its unique flattened bill partially open, sweeping it from side to side through the water. When it senses prey, the bill snaps shut.

    Most wading birds nest in colonies that often include various species of waders as well as other water-associated birds like gulls and cormorants. These colonies, called rookeries, offer specific advantages of safety and food supply for nesting birds.

    Another reason colonies are safer is that when there are many birds, there are more eyes and ears for detecting danger and sounding the alarm when a predator is near.
