Snowy Egret. Among the most elegant of the herons, the slender Snowy Egret sets off immaculate white plumage with black legs and brilliant yellow feet. Those feet seem to play a role in stirring up or herding small aquatic animals as the egret forages.

I love to watch them fish using their feet for bait! The way they shake their foot then watch and grab... I Agree they are incredibly elegant.
