Egretta thula
A small, active white heron, the Snowy Egret is found in small ponds as well as along the ocean shore. Its black legs and yellow feet quickly identify it. It has a dark bill.
This one was not active at all, but sitting crouched and unmoving in the deep vegetation of a remote pond at Hagerman National Wildlife Refuge: http://www.fws.gov/refuges/profiles/inde...
Was not sure it was a bird at first, it was so motionless.
