Snowy Egrets are gorgeous small herons.
Besides being smaller than Great Egrets, their bill is black (instead of yellow)
and they feet are yellow instead of black.
In breeding season the feathers on the back look like plumes.

They eat fish, crustaceans, and insects by stalking their prey in
shallow waters.
