Observation details

Continuing rare bird. White Medium sized Heron ( Juvenile) with bluish bill, greenish lores and green legs. Multiple Observers. Foraging first on the shoreline then flew to tree along the shoreline and preened. Cool bird where Juvenile is pure white and adult Is dark-blue gray. Should be in the South-eastern States. Thanks to Lee for posting the location last night. When we arrived at sunrise we first checked out the original location in the east. Then proceeded to the NW side where we figured it had spent the night. We could not find it as we walked the southern shore towards the east. That large flock of geese suddenly took flight with enough commotion to wake up the whole neighborhood. We made a comment that hopefully it will wake up LBHE. And there it was " Eureka" on the shoreline.
