Snowy Egret | Egretta thula
ABOUT THE PHOTO
The Snowy Egret's yellow feet have a nickname all their own — "golden slippers" — and legend has it early birders could spot the species from a distance just by that flash of yellow against black legs. This one stood barnacle-crusted rock, tide pulling in behind it, looking like it had worn those slippers its whole life and never once slipped.
