Observation details
Found this morning by Alexander Yan. This was a medium sized Heron, smaller and more slender than nearby Snowy Egrets. Slaty gray/blue and maroon on the back, head, and parts of the neck. White underside and underwings. White plumes coming off of the back of the head. Hunted along the shore by crouching and staying low. We observed it stopping to preen on various occasions including a 20 minute detour to the central island.
