Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that File:Ardea modesta.jpg will be appearing as picture of the day on March 17, 2012.

The Eastern Great Egret (Ardea alba modesta) is a subspecies of the Great Egret found throughout Asia and Oceania. Measuring 83–103 cm (33–41 in) in length and weighing 0.7–1.2 kg (1.5–2.6 lb), the Eastern Great Egret is a large heron with all-white plumage. Its bill is yellow in the breeding season and black at other times, and its long legs are red or black. It can be distinguished from other white egrets and herons in its range by its very long neck, one and a half times as long as its own body.Photo: JJ Harrison
