Description

A 30 x 20 portrait of a Snowy Egret eyeing a turtle in a lagoon just outside Acapulco Mexico. Unlike Great Egrets which have yellow-orange bills, the Snowy Egret are much smaller and have a black bill.

Egrets are herons which have white or buff plumage, and develop fine plumes (usually milky white) during the breeding season. They are long-legged, freshwater, coastal birds with S shaped necks, that often stand immobile or wade through wetlands to capture fish with a deadly jab of their bills. Crustaceans, insects, small reptiles, snails, frogs, worms, mice and crayfish are also on the menu.

Snowy egrets are permanent residents in most of South America and Central America. In North America, they are often permanent residents along the Atlantic coast of the United States north to Virginia Beach, Virginia, along the Gulf Coast, and along the Pacific lowlands from central California southward.
