Observation details
Found by Wally Sumner this morning. Small, short-legged heron with pale yellowish legs and black toes (stain or mud on toes?), white body with rich buff on crown, a patch on back and on breast. Thin, wispy aigrettes on scapulars and breast. Bill orange with small dusky tip (stain?). Lores and skin around yellow eye was pale yellow. Buff on crown separated from bill by narrow white band across forehead. I watched this bird snapping up flies around fresh dung. It occasionally probed in the ground and grass.
