Reproductive Peformance of Great Egrets (Ardea alba) at High Island, Texas
… I examined the reproductive performance of Great Egrets (Ardea alba) for two breeding seasons (2009 and 2010) immediately following Hurricane Ike at High Island, Texas. Breeding success, productivity, and mean brood size did not differ between years (U-test, P > 0.05). Fledging success at 21 days …

Foraging Behavior and Success of Herons and Egrets in Natural and Artificial Wetlands
… I quantified the foraging behavior of herons and egrets (species that are dependent on wetlands for food) in natural and artificial wetlands in southeastern coastal Georgia and southern coastal South Carolina. I tested the hypothesis that wading birds would show similar foraging behavior and …

Wintering Reddish Egret (Egretta Rufescens) Foraging Response To Environmental Variability On The Southern Texas Gulf Coast
… transect surveys via boat of foraging Reddish Egrets from November 2019 to March 2021 in the Laguna Madre land cut of the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway, an area with a large portion of tidal flat habitat. Using negative binomial and logistic generalized linear mixed effect models of my count data …

Molecular Genetic Assessment of Population Structure, Paternity, and Sex Ratios for the Reddish Egret
… of habitat loss we recommend that Reddish Egrets be managed as 3 distinct or evolutionary significant units (Baja, Texas/Florida, and Inagua). Furthermore, our results do not refute the current subspecies status of E. r .dickeyi. In nests where all offspring were sampled, possible multiple …
