Garza Blanca o Garceta grande / great egret (Ardea alba)

            La garza blanca o garceta grande / great egret (Ardea alba) es una especie de ave pelecaniforme de la familia Ardeidae. Es una de las garzas más ampliamente distribuidas por el mundo.
La garza blanca es un ave grande de plumaje blanco que puede alcanzar el metro de altura y pesar hasta 950 gramos. Es ligeramente menor que la garza ceniza (A. herodias). Además del tamaño, la garza blanca puede diferenciarse de otras garzas del mismo color por su pico amarillo y patas negras, aunque el pico puede tornarse más oscuro y las patas más claras en la estación de cría. En el plumaje de cría, delicadas plumas ornamentales salen de la espalda. Machos y hembras son idénticos en apariencia.
Posee un vuelo lento, con el cuello retraído. Esto es característico de garzas y avetoros, y es lo que los distingue decigüeñas, grullas, ibis y espátulas, que mantienen el cuello extendido al volar.


The great egret (Ardea alba) also known as common egret, large egret or great white heron,[2][3][4] is a large, widely distributedegret. Distributed across most of the tropical and warmer temperate regions of the world, in southern Europe it is rather localized. InNorth America it is more widely distributed, and it is ubiquitous across the Sun Belt of the United States and in the Neotropics. The Old World population is often referred to as the great white egret. This species is sometimes confused with the great white heron of theCaribbean, which is a white morph of the closely related great blue heron (A. hernias).
