Egret

Oil on canvas 36x48

I am a wading bird who lives near salty and brackish water.  I stand about two feet tall, and have a wingspan of up to 3 ½ feet.  My yellow feet set me apart from other egrets.  I am also known for my beautiful white feathers.  During the mating season, I grow long white plumes on the back of my head and my chest.  I raise these feathers in the air to show them off and to attract a mate.
