Media notes
Note subtle yellow in feed of yellow billed bird.
Observation details
On embankment between two ponds. Took flight while watching and returned to the same place. Photos show same group of birds on the ground and in flight. Note the yellow billed birds have yellow feet, characteristic of Little Egret. Yellow billed birds were originally logged as Intermediate Egrets, however, our local eBrid coordinator's advice was this was incorrect and upon closer inspection I can see my error(s). A closer look at the two yellow billed birds (see close crops) and yellow feet are visible, close crops added to show this (subtle in one, clear in the other). Black vs. yellow bill is not totally diagnostic (my original mistake).
