This wonderful picture of a Great Egret in flight in the Yala National Park was captured by photographer, Sanduna Dewaka . It has large, white wings with sparkling yellow eyes. The bill is yellow and may appear orange when breeding. Black legs and feet. The long feather plumes extend from the back to beyond the tail during breeding season. Feeds on fish, frogs, insects, snakes and the elegant Great Egret is a dazzling sight in many a North American wetland. Slightly smaller and more svelte than the Great Blue Heron, these are still large birds with impressive wingspans. They hunt in classic heron fashion, standing immobile or wading through wetlands to capture fish with a deadly jab of their yellow bill.
