Yellow feet

Posted by Harry (Apex, NC, United States) on 16 September 2016 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.

tI can't identify this bird, but I'll bet some of my viewers can. Its yellow feet and eye markings are distinctive, and that long stride reminds me of Grocho Marx.

Welcome to all. I began blogging Retained-Images in 2004 at My-Expressions.com. It is gone now.

What an amazing bird. Love the yellow on his beak and feet and back of his legs. Can't imagine what evolutionary benefit they might have.

@Devi: Thanks for the identification.

That long stride is very funny. Someone will be able to identify this attractive bird. Devi suggests Snowy Egret. I'll accept that!

I agree it is an egret! Those yellow features are incredible. Yes, Groucho Marx comes to mind
