*** About Snowy Egret: The Snowy Egret is a small white heron famous for its slender, black bill and long black legs with distinctive yellow feet. Often found in wetlands across North and South America, these birds are adept hunters, wading in the water to catch fish and small insects. Their breeding plumage, which includes long, delicate feathers, is especially noticeable during the breeding season and adds an additional layer of beauty to their already striking appearance. Snowy Egrets were once hunted nearly to extinction for these plumes, but conservation efforts have since helped their populations to recover.
