Observation details

Bird appeared to be the white morph, "Great White Heron." At first glance, I thought it was a Great Egret, but as I paddled near the dock where it was roosting and took a closer look, I could see it was a White Heron due to the thick bill and larger size than a Great Egret. See photos.
