Snowy Egret in Breeding Colors with brilliant red lore curiously looks down through the lush green pond apple leaves.

---

A Snowy Egret looks down from its perch on a branch in its pond apple tree nesting island. It appears curious about something in the leaves below or perhaps is being territorial towards another nest. The white bird stands out brilliantly against the rich greens of the leafy background. The snowy egret also displays full breeding colors and plumage. The lore is a vibrant fire engine red, the golden slippers are reddening and aigrettes are on display.
