Snowy Egret photographed on the Mendonoma Coast by Craig Tooley

The Snowy Egret is a small white Heron with black legs and yellow feet. They are found near ponds and by the ocean's shores.

To hear what they sound like, here's a link to the Cornell Lab of Ornithology: http://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Snowy_Egret/sounds.

What I like about Craig's photo is the Snowy Egret's head plumes. Reminds me of a bad hair day or perhaps static electricity!
