A side-view shot shows a Great Egret flying in front of trees and a dark body of water. The body of the egret is turned to the left, and body angling upward. The snowy-white wings are spread wide. Sunlight shines through the wings from behind, creating a bright rim of light at the ends of the feathers. The long, thin legs trail straight behind the body. The thin, long neck is curved into an S shape with the small head facing forward. The yellow bill is very long and thin, pointing forward. The background behind the bird is slightly out of focus and includes a dark body of water and dense green trees. In the bottom left corner are some blades of lush, green grass.
