One of the most beautiful birds in Florida is the snowy egret. They are pure white. Several other egrets in Florida are also pure white: American egret, cattle egret, great white heron, the white ibis, and the rare white phase of the reddish egret. So how can you tell a snowy egret apart from the rest?
The snowy egret has a black bill and YELLOW FEET. It is the only white egret with black legs and bright yellow feet!
You’ll see them fishing in the shallow water on the beach and you’ll see them hanging around on fishing piers too. They will sometimes approach you quite closely if you sit still.
