The Snowy Egret is a middle-sized, white heron with a thin, black bill, legs of black and yellow feet. The upper part of their bill, in front of the eyes, is yellow but turns red during the breeding season.
Extremely lovely plumes are present on the back during the breeding season. The Snowy Egret is much smaller than the Great Egret, but its plumage is lovely.
Like other egrets, the Snowy Egret was once killed for its feathers. Its population was seriously damaged in the 1800's. It has made a recovery and is no longer hunted.
