What do Great Egrets eat? Well, they eat long skinny fish and they eat fat fish. After watching this Great Egret swallow a fat fish whole, you might say he then had a lump in his throat for awhile. Great Egrets were hunted for their beautiful feather plumes in the late 1800's and early 1900's. Their numbers decreased by 95 percent. They are now protected by law and their numbers are stable. The Great Egret is also the symbol of the National Audubon Society.
