Texas's Green Island hosts world's largest reddish egret colony since 1923

·45 viewsGreen Island in Texas is home to the world's largest colony of reddish egrets, a status it earned after heavy hunting once drove bird populations to critical lows. Protected since 1923, the island has developed dense vegetation that provides nesting habitats for a variety of coastal bird species.
