I learned the difference between a great white egret and a snowy egret this week. This is a great white egret. They have orange beaks and black feet. The snowy egret has a black beak and orange feet.

Beautiful shot.. i just had to google to see what colour beak and feet our Cattle Egret has.. orange beak black feet.. so they will get confused with the Great White..

@julzmaioro The cattle egret is actually quite a bit smaller and also has some orange on it's head. I've posted a shot the other day here http://365project.org/lynne5477/365/2019-07-01 of a group flying by and then posted on July 4th this one sitting on a nest http://365project.org/lynne5477/365/2019-07-04. These birds can certainly be confusing at times to identify.
