Observation details
Doc photos. An experienced birder suggests adult LBHE. Saw a svelte dark heron, smaller than a GBHE at the far north end of the swamp in the tall reeds. It was actively feeding, swivel-scoping its neck and leaping to grab prey. Noted large light coloured beak and legs, rufous? sheen on neck and dark back through 8X bins. Have videos of its feeding methods.
