Ardea alba
Large white wading bird. Very long neck and legs. Yellowish-orange bill, black legs. Slighty slimmer and smaller than the Great Blue Heron. Hunts by standing still or wading very slowly then jabbing prey quickly with the bill.
Man-made freshwater lagoons.
We saw many of these while visiting family on Hilton Head Island, SC.
