The birds are silhouetted against the warm, diffuse tones of a setting or rising sun, which beautifully illuminates the undersides of their broad, rounded wings. Each egret exhibits the species' characteristic all-white plumage, long, slender black legs, and notably, the trailing black feet that, in breeding season, would feature bright yellow toes. The elongated neck and dagger-like black bill are held forward, indicative of their purposeful movement across the wetland environment. This image successfully conveys the species' inherent elegance and the communal, unhurried rhythm of their evening or morning movements between roosting and feeding grounds
