Where can I find the rare Egret for the Exotics quest?

The rare Egret is a crucial item for the Exotics questline in Red Dead Redemption 2, specifically for completing Algernon Wasp''s requests. Egrets are rare birds found in the swampy regions of Lemoyne, particularly around the Bayou Nwa and Bluewater Marsh areas. There are three types of Egrets you need to collect: Little Egret, Reddish Egret, and Snowy Egret. Each type is required in specific quantities for the quest, and finding them can be challenging due to their rarity and specific spawn conditions.\n\nTo locate Egrets, head to the wetlands south of Saint Denis, near the Kamassa River. The best time to search for Egrets is during the early morning or late afternoon, as they are more active during these times. Use your binoculars or a scoped rifle to scan the area for birds perched on rocks, trees, or wading in shallow water. Egrets are often found near other waterfowl, so look for groups of birds in the swampy areas.\n\nOnce you spot an Egret, approach carefully to avoid scaring it away. Egrets are skittish and will fly off if you get too close or make sudden movements. Use a Varmint Rifle to kill the Egret without damaging its feathers, as this is required for the quest. Aim for a clean headshot to ensure the bird is killed instantly and its carcass remains intact. After killing the Egret, skin it to collect the plumes needed for the Exotics quest.\n\nA common challenge players face is the low spawn rate of Egrets. If you''re having trouble finding them, try setting up camp nearby and sleeping for a few in-game days to reset the spawns. Additionally, save your game before hunting so you can reload if the Egret doesn''t spawn or if you accidentally damage its feathers. Another tip is to use Dead Eye to mark the Egret and ensure a precise shot, especially if it''s flying or moving quickly.\n\nFor specific locations, the area around the Kamassa River and the small islands near the coast of Bluewater Marsh are reliable spots for Egret spawns. The Little Egret is often found near the water''s edge, while the Reddish Egret and Snowy Egret tend to appear in slightly deeper water or on small islands. Be patient and persistent, as it may take several attempts to find all the Egrets you need.\n\nIn summary, finding rare Egrets for the Exotics quest requires careful exploration of the Bayou Nwa and Bluewater Marsh areas. Use a Varmint Rifle for clean kills, approach slowly to avoid scaring the birds, and utilize Dead Eye for precision. If Egrets aren''t spawning, try sleeping or reloading your save. With patience and the right strategy, you''ll collect all the Egret plumes needed to complete Algernon Wasp''s requests.
