Egrets shake their feet in marsh water primarily to stir up prey hidden in the mud or vegetation. This foot-shaking behavior creates vibrations that dislodge small fish, amphibians, and invertebrates, making them easier to catch. Additionally, it may help the birds to gauge the substrate and find suitable feeding spots. This technique showcases their adaptive hunting strategies in aquatic environments.
