Media notes
The bird was completely white with black legs and feet . It was very heron like but abit smaller .He moved slowly through the water, neck stretched up, stalking, stabbing his light coloured bill into the water to catch his prey. We watched him for awhile but couldn't see what he was catching.
Observation details
While driving down a gravel road on our way to Struthers Lake Sk we noticed a white heron type bird on a pond beside the the road. We backed up to have a better look and sure enough, it was a Great Egret ! It was very heron like but not as big. It was completely white with black legs and feet . We watched him slowly wad in the pond stabbing the water with his light coloured bill. We couldn't tell what he was catching .
