Ardea alba
A bright yellow bill and black legs help to identify on this large white heron from a distance. This specimen is sporting lovely long breeding plumes.
You’ll find Great Egrets in both freshwater and saltwater habitats. They are colonial nesters, typically placing stick nests high in trees, often on islands that are isolated from mammalian predators such as raccoons.
