Snowy Egret

Snowy Egrets are a medium-sized egret long with thin legs and a long, slender bill, and fluffy white plumage. An interesting fact about the Snowy Egrets is that it's plumage was once so highly sought after by the fashion industry that it fetched a price of $32 an ounce in 1886, twice the price of gold. Reforms were passed in the 20th century and Snowy Egrets have since recovered to stable levels.
