The great egret (Ardea alba), also known as the common egret, large
egret or (in the Old World) great white heron, is a large,
widely distributed egret. Distributed across most of the tropical and
warmer temperate regions of the world, in southern Europe it is rather
localized. In North America it is more widely distributed, and it is
ubiquitous across the Sun Belt of the United States and in the
Neotropics. The Old World population is often referred to as the great
white egret. This species is sometimes confused with the great white
heron of the Caribbean, which is a white morph of the closely related
great blue heron (A. herodias).
