The Snowy Egret is a small white heron. These birds stalk their prey in shallow water, often running or shuffling their feet, flushing prey into view. Snowy egrets may also stand still and wait to ambush prey. Their breeding habitat is large inland and coastal wetlands from the lower Great Lakes and southwestern United States to South America.
