He's a heron and herons are all wading birds - like storks, eh. I guess the herons are all bascially a family. He's not a Great White Egret which is a basically an all white feathered Great Blue Heron. He's smaller than a Great Egret (aka Great White Egret) and has yellow feet. Those yellow feet are how you tell he's a Snowy Egret, plus he's smaller than a Great Egret. Got it? Well I looked it up so we can know what we're looking at.
