Observation details
Largest of the white egrets except for the white subspecies of Great Blue Heron, formerly known as “Great White Heron.” Great Whites usually stay well south of here and often inhabit coastal locations when they wander up this far. Great Egret is smaller than Great Blue Heron with a smaller bill and slimmer build. White Great Blue Herons usually have yellow or sometimes pink legs unlike the black legs of Great Egret. Some “Great Whites” have darker legs, though.
