Reddish Egret-REEG#2 (REEG#2 bill was mostly black with less pink compared to REEG#1), Villa Creek--Estero Bluffs State Park, San Luis Obispo County, California, US, August 10, 2019, Herb Elliott
Observation details
Overall both birds were rather gray and suffused with shades of rufous, black bills and legs. Although not observed in the field, my images revealed marginal differences in bill colorations. REEG#1 showed more pink on it’s upper mandible and lower mandible – up to about 40% from the base. REEG#2 bill was mostly black with a hint of pink at its base. Both birds made two cycles around the lagoon and then flew south. The birds were seen at 10:06 am for about 3 mins
