The Great Egret Ardea alba, also known as the Great White Egret, White Heron, or Common Egret, is a wading egret, found in most of the tropical and warmer temperate parts of the world, although it is very local in southern Europe and Asia. It is called Kōtuku in New Zealand. It is sometimes confused with the Great White Heron in Florida, which is a white morph of the Great Blue Heron.

The Great Egret is a large bird with all white plumage that can reach 3'3" in height and weigh up to 3.2 lb. It is only slightly smaller than the Great Blue or Grey Herons. Apart from size, the Great Egret can be distinguished from other white egrets by its yellow bill and black legs and feet. It also has a slow flight, with its neck retracted. This is characteristic of herons and bitterns, and distinguishes them from storks, cranes and spoonbills, which extend their necks.

Sir Barton From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sir Barton, (1916-1937), was a chestnut thoroughbred colt, who, in 1919 became the first winner of the American Triple Crown.

Sired by leading stud Star Shoot out of the Hanover mare, Lady Sterling, his grandsire was the 1893 English Triple Crown champion, Isinglass.

Sir Barton was Kentucky bred by John E. Madden and Vivian A. Gooch at Hamburg Place Farm near Lexington. Madden raced him in his two-year-old season. He was entered in six races, winning none. Madden sold the horse in 1918 for $10,000 to Canadian businessman, J. K. L. Ross.
