Observation details
Huge surprise seen fishing in the muddy shallows on our side of the water. Egret with shaggy rufous head and neck, large, straight bicolored bill: pink at base extending roughly half way, and black extending to the tip. Slate blue/gray body, dark legs. Bird was very expressive—acrobatic dancing and running through the shallows; and then walking slowly and fishing. Pale underwing stripe seen as bird eventually flew toward the south out of sight. Thanks to Justin Bosler for confirming our ID! Photos to follow.
