Juvenile Reddish Egret at Ocean Park, Santa Barbara County, CA
Observation details
Continuing immature bird found on 12 July. Identified by it's overall rusty coloration, particularly on the head and neck, and washed with gray over the wings. Medium sized egret - smaller that Great Egret and slightly larger than Snowy Egret. Long dark legs. Observed it flying on a couple of occasions. It remained along the north shoreline. Too distant for good photos but watched and digiscoped from the beach closure area west of the train trestle. Digiscoped photos:
