The Snowy Egret
Is distinguished
from the Great
egret by its black bill, yellow feet, and smaller
size. |
|
Poised at
Road Pond, Sandy Ground.
|
|
It was usually seen on the
edge of pond or on marshy ground
Its
brilliantly white plumes were once very popular on hats
and resulted in the near extinction of the snowy egret
in US earlier last century.
Their main foods are fish, crabs, frogs and insects. |

The rainy season in
Anguilla helped to bring many of the ponds to life. Numerous Snowy
Egrets may be seen on ponds around Anguilla
