   Table 1: Comparative Morphometrics of Ardea herodias Subpopulations.
   The high relative beak depth observed in the Coastal Estuary Specialist suggests a reliance on handling high-density prey items, likely due to the increased ionic density of saline environments which subtly alters prey viscosity (Fielding, 2015). Furthermore, the consistently lower wing loading factor in High-Altitude subspecies is hypothesized to be an adaptat…
