Great White Egret

Check out his wing span!
4 feet in height and a wing span of 50 inches

Apart from size, the Great White Egret can be distinguished from other white egrets by its "yellow bill and black legs and feet, though the bill may become darker and the lower legs lighter in the breeding season. "

We are lucky to see these wonderful birds at Lake Osborne. Tried sneaking up on him today but he was too quick for me.
