Snowy Egret

Egretta thula

Notes 6

About a third the size of a Great Egret. Bright white birds with fine, almost gauzy head and back plumes during their breeding season. Have a dark beak and bright yellow feet. When hunting they scootch their yellow feet through the mud in front of them to try and stir up prey.
