The animal on the cover of Efficient Go is a purple heron (Ardea purpurea). There is a wide variety of subspecies of these herons, and they are occasionally confused with their larger relative, the gray heron.
Purple herons are recognized by their long bills and necks, as well as by their narrow bodies and wings. Light grayish-purple feathers cover the majority of their bodies with some areas of black, chestnut brown, and white throughout. Their long, snakelike neck is brown with black stripes running down the sides. Black feathers crown their head, belly, and tail tip. Long legs allow them to wade through water and help them see from higher vantage points.
They can be found across the globe in temperate and tropical Europe, Asia, and Africa. While they favor freshwater and tall reed beds, they can also be found living in sedge beds, mangroves, brackish water, swamps, rice fields, rivers, lake shores, and coastal mudflats. They prefer areas covered with thick vegetation and are more commonly seen flying rather than nestled into their habitat.
Water is key to the survival of purple herons, as their primary diet is small-tomedium-sized fish. Insects (beetles, locusts, and dragonflies) also provide ample nourishment, as well as the occasional frog, salamander, or small mammal.
