I could see it from across the lake.
For sure an Egret by the shape and color
but I knew it was too small to be a Great Egret.
At only 24 inches,
it revealed just a peak of it's "yellow galoshes".
It's a gorgeous Snowy Egret, the first time I have seen one.
White body, black bill...
black legs with bright yellow feet.
