Observation details
Photos, including one with exaggerated saturation to help with seeing yellow vs. black. Changing ID to snowy egret from original of great egret. Large white bird flying with neck pulled in and long legs trailing behind. Dark, long, straight, thin bill with patch of yellow behind; dark legs with yellow feet trailing in flight. Distinguished from great egret by the dark bill and yellow feet. Photos seem to show something less than pure black on the bill and legs, so it might be an immature.
