Snowy Egret

Description:

Sequence of shots over 20 seconds. This is a medium sized white bird with long black and yellow legs and bill. "Adults are typically 61 centimetres (24 in) long and weigh 375 grams (13.2 oz). They have a slim black bill and long black legs with yellow feet. The area of the upper bill, in front of the eyes, is yellow but turns red during the breeding season, when the adults also gain recurved plumes on the back, making for a "shaggy" effect. The juvenile looks similar to the adult, but the base of the bill is paler, and a green or yellow line runs down the back of the legs." - Wikipedia

Habitat:

Dixon Lake. "In warmer locations, some Snowy Egret are permanent residents; northern populations migrate to Central America and the West Indies. They may wander north after the breeding season, very rarely venturing to western Europe—the first bird sighted in Britain wintered in Scotland from 2001–2002." - Wikipedia
