Great Egret

I saw this bird roaming about this afternoon. I think it must have flown across the street from Audubon Park. I tried to get a good picture (obviously didn't as you can tell).  From what I read online it's a Great Egret.  Great Egrets can be found here in Louisiana year round.  They have long black legs and a yellow bill. Egrets feed on fish, frogs and insects and are known to make a "kroow" sound. Here's a link for more about the Great Egret. http://identify.whatbird.com/obj/30/overview/Great_Egret.aspx          All info obtained from link above.
