The snowy egret  has orange feet and coloring around the eye for only a couple days a year. The other three hundred and sixty three days  the feet and eye patch are yellow. This is part of breeding plumage/ coloring. Observing this in the wild I find very rare. I have witnessed this occurrence one time before in 1996. I was delighted to take over 200 pictures of this bird and lucky enough to get pictures of the snowy catching and eating fish with it’s orange coloring.
