The yellow feet and curly tail are dead give aways. Yes, this is a snowy egret (Egretta thula) and one of the medium sized members of the Egret family. These birds spend their lives in South America and come into our area during summer breeding season. I took these pictures on Lake Millwood during March. This bird was sharing the small bay with a Great Egret and an alligator.
