ʻO ka herona he manu ia e ʻike ai kēlā me kēia, ma hea ʻo ia. ʻO nā wāwae lōʻihi ke ʻano, ka leo kikoʻī a me ka liʻiliʻi liʻiliʻi ʻaʻole e ʻae i kēlā kanaka e huikau me kekahi manu ʻē aʻe. ʻO ka herona kahi manu i lilo i hōʻailona o nā moʻolelo kaʻao he nui, ʻike pinepine ʻia i nā mele a me nā ʻano hana like ʻole o ka lāhui.
Hōʻike o ka laha
ʻOkoʻa ko Aigupita herona mai kā lākou mau hoahānau i loko o ka ʻōmaʻomaʻo keʻokeʻo maoli. Lōʻihi ka hulu a hulu. Ma kahi kokoke i ke kau, hāʻule lākou i waho. He hina ʻeleʻele ka nuku o ka manu, ʻaneʻane ʻeleʻele, me kahi kiko melemele liʻiliʻi ma ke kumu. ʻEleʻele nā wāwae o ka herona ʻAigupita.
I ka wā o ka moena, ʻo ke kala o ka plumage i nā wahine a me nā kāne he mea like ia: keʻokeʻo keʻokeʻo me ka waiʻona waina ma ke kua, ke poʻo a me ka goiter. ʻO ke ʻano o nā hulu i kēia mau ʻāpana he leʻaleʻa, elongated. I ka wā o ka hoʻokumu ʻia ʻana o nā pālua, ʻike ʻia nā hulu melemele ʻulaʻula o kahi kala ʻulaʻula ma ke kalaunu a me ke kua, nā wāwae a me ka nuku i loaʻa i ke kala ʻalani ʻalani, a me nā maka - kahi kala melemele momona.
No ka nui o ka manu, ʻaʻole ʻoi aku ka nui ma mua o ka moa: ʻo ka lōʻihi o ke kino he 48-53 cm, a ʻo kona kaupaona ʻaʻole i ʻoi aku ma mua o ka hapalua kilokilo. ʻOiai kona liʻiliʻi, hiki i ka ʻēheu o kahi manu ke piʻi i 96 knm. Ke holo wikiwiki nei ka manu: ʻaʻole ia e kali no ka mea pio, akā ʻimi ʻimi ʻimi. ʻO ka wahi o ka lawe ʻana i ka meaʻai ʻaʻole mau ma ka wai, pinepine ka herona ʻAigupita e nānā no ka meaʻai i nā māla a me nā ulu lāʻau.
ʻOkoʻa ka leo o ka herona ʻAigupita i kahi ʻano ʻē aʻe, ʻoi aku ka nui: ʻo ke kani o ka haʻalulu i kēia ʻano he kiʻekiʻe, kūiki a ʻino.
