Egret in front of a soft background.

A close crop shows an impressive white great egret with large, yellow-rimmed eyes and a long, yellow beak. The egret stands against a background of green grass and a light blue sky. The egret is partially turned, so the viewer sees the right side of the bird's head and the front of its body. The egret has ruffled white feathers. The curve of feathers around its neck is visible in the hollow area between its head and body. Some of the feathers have a light yellow tint that mimics the color of the long, sharp beak. The eye is set in a black pupil and a large yellow area. Sunlight hits the side of the egret's body and head.
