Description
Snowy Egret on the lake. Adults are typically 61 centimetres (24 in) long and weigh 3.75 kilograms (8.3 lb) They have a slim black bill and long black legs with yellow feet. The area of the upper bill, in front of the eyes, is yellow but turns red during the breeding season, when the adults also gain recurved plumes on the back, making for a "shaggy" effect. The juvenile looks similar to the adult, but the base of the bill is paler, and a green or yellow line runs down the back of the legs.
This photo was taken at the Riparian Preserve At Water Ranch Gilbert, Arizona. Fine Art America watermark will not appear on purchased artwork.
