We have these egrets and herons in our little red dot that migrates over during some months. Have to find out what species they are!

It seems they are normally found in Singapore as well.

Sorry, I messed that up. The little egret is native to Europe, Asia and Australia. The snowy egret is a North American species. Both are genus egretta.
Here in the San Francisco Bay Area, we have snow egrets and great blue herons in the winter, but I doubt I’ve ever seen a little egret.
