Observation details
Same hatch year bird I saw last weekend in the tidal basin. Overall a lead gray color with a weak sandy or tan hue. Bill long and all grey - not bicolored or pale at the base so definitely not an adult Little Blue Heron. VERY UNUSUAL location for a Reddish Egret. Observed foraging in the freshwater pond along the Thomas oil lease. I've never seen one outside of the saltwater ponds or tidal basin of Bolsa Chica before. Primarily kept to the deeper water in the southwest corner of the pond where it sometimes went out of sight behind the thick stands of tules and cattails.
