Carol you can rely on Mitch. Please update Binomial (Scientific) name also.

This is must be great egret.. Mitch you are correct.. Such long neck and nose are to be referred..!!
Agreed - that's a Great Egret. The beak is the giveaway - Snowy Egrets have black beaks. Additionally, though you can't see the feet in this picture, Snowy Egrets are easy to identify from the bright yellow feet.
Nice photo, but that's a Great Egret, Ardea alba.
Wow!
