A Great Egret (Ardea alba) lies dead at the roadside after being struck by a car in southern Florida, USA. The bird is identified by its white feathers, orangish yellow beak, and black legs and feet. In life it stands up to feet (1 meter) tall. A government road-kill study estimates that more than 60 million birds are killed by cars every year in the United States. The Great Egret is the symbol of the National Audubon Society, which has been dedicated to the protection and preservation of birds since 1905 and is one of the oldest conservation organizations in North America.
