Re: PESO - White Bird

Snowy's have black legs and yellow feet as well as a thin black beak. This one has black legs and feet and a big yellow beak. Rules of thumb for white wading birds: 1. Big yellow beak and all black legs (on a big bird) = Great Egret 2. Thin black beak, black legs and yellow feet = Snowy Egret 3.
