Our state, Louisiana has several species of egrets, one of them is Great Egret with scientific name Ardea alba.

The egret is a common wading bird found in our state, especially near bodies of water, just seen again around neighborhood.
The birds are distinguished by their pristine white plumage. Great Egret features a long, S-shaped neck, a trait typical of herons and egrets.
The great egrets are characterized by their long, yellow bills. These birds are relatively large as depicted by the images.
