Ardea alba
Great Egrets are tall, long-legged wading birds with long, S-curved necks and long, dagger-like bills. In flight, the long neck is tucked in and the legs extend far beyond the tip of the short tail. All feathers on Great Egrets are white. Their bills are yellowish-orange, and the legs black.
This second bird did not fly as I approached, but calmly walked out into the water. Graveyard Slough on Lake Lewisville.
