Egretta thula
Snowy egrets stand nearly two feet tall and have long yellow legs and yellow feet. While they are tall, they only weigh nearly a pound. Their wings, covered with white feather, can span three feet.
They live in warmer climates in the Western Hemisphere. Those living in the north migrate for the winter to Central and South America.
Photos are cropped because I only had my macro 100mm (I was waiting to see a lot of insects, but saw nothing).

They are beautifully camouflaged in this picture.
