Great Egret (Ardea alba)Observer
simonecurrieDescription
Long legs and very long neck for body size. Neck held in an S shape. Long orange, pointed, straight, sharp beak. Black skin on legs. White plumage. Slender tapered body shape with short tail feathers. Neck attachment to body is slightly ventral, such that the bird appears to have a hunchback. The large body size, long neck and legs lead me to believe that this is a member of the Pelecaniformes. The orange beak, black legs and all white plumage make me think that this is a Great Egret.
