Default Take Off !

A “Snowy Egret”takes to the sky in search of food.

Note the Yellow feet which is an easy way to distinguish them from a “Great Egret” which has black feet. I’ll post a nice photo of a Great Egret next.

I saw this one at a pond along Bonita Blvd this morning.

You are correct, I have changed the description in the post.

The Snowy Egret has bushier “Head Plumes” vs the Little Egret that has two long thin plumes.

Thank you.
