Snowy egret: Golden slippers

Snowy Egrets have bright yellow feet, often called "golden slippers," which play a crucial role in hunting. As they stir the water, their feet may attract fish and other prey, making them easier to catch. The yellow contrasts with dark water, helping the egret track its movements, while the white plumage blends with the bright sky, keeping it less visible to prey. Juveniles start with greenish legs and feet, that gradually darken to black and yellow as they mature.
