Observation details
This bird was originally found on August 22nd in the same location by my friend Karen Saunders. She contacted me to say that it was back. I am posting these photos in the hope that the birding community can help me resolve the ID problem. The bird looks to me like a juvenile Little Blue Heron -- the legs and feet are uniformly dull green; lores are pale green; bill is two-toned. On the other hand, Sibley warns that immature Snowy Egrets can occasionally exhibit similar characteristics. The wing tips were NOT dark; there was not a trace of dark coloration anywhere on the bird. HELP!
