Observation details
Non-breeding adult or immature reported earlier. Seen in Shearness Pool near area with spoonbills but closer to the drive. Feeding with Snowys in the same feeding style (darting here and there and flaring wings out) Dark bill with dark lores, shaggy breast plumes and dark legs. Thinner bill than Little Blue Heron and dark legs. I watched for quite some time to make sure of leg color as mud and algae can darken. Always much darker than either Snowy Egret or Little Blue Heron. Also foraged right with Snowys rather than off on its own. Have many okay photos will post.
