Observation details

I first found this bird on 4/17, when it was at this same location. That day it flew away and was not seen again until I found it here again today. A small, white egret with pale apricot-orange crown and crest, also a pale apricot-orange patch blending into white on the back and a smaller patch on the breast. Legs were short and greenish yellow, feet blackish. Bill was orange-yellow. Lores were dull greenish yellow and eyes were dull yellow. The bird's neck was short, more like a Night-Heron's than a Snowy or Great Egret's.
