Ardea alba
The great egret stands about 1 m (3 ft) tall, has all white plumage, black legs and yellow bill. In flight, the neck is folded back and the legs trailing. During the breeding season the adults will have a green patch around the eyes.
Usually found near water features, such as wetlands, ponds, and lakes where it feeds on amphibians, fish, and reptiles. It nests in treetop colonies.
