***Continuing mega rarity of confusing taxonomic affiliations; hunting small shad northeast of the Ferdon Avenue road bridge. Told from great egret by pale yellowish legs, larger size, massively heavy bill with blueish upper mandible base and blueish facial skin. Identified as an individual by (now mostly faded) brown staining on the shoulders. Prolonged viewing until it was apparently chased off by a red-winged blackbird while I wasn’t looking. Amazing, amazing bird.
