Official Description: "This breed of heron is characterized by the pink tips of its feathers. Unlike its waterfront-dwelling relative, the blue-winged heron, these live in grasslands or arid regions and subsist on insects that live in the grass. They can often be found walking about searching for food but will fly away if they sense danger."

Tips for Hunting Pink Herons
