I saw a dark gray blue bird and a white bird, both were little blue herons. They were in the Bright Water channel area. They were hanging around with a large number of snowy and great egrets. They are similar in size to a snowy egret, maybe a little bit smaller. One had blue gray plumage on most of the body, some red purple on the neck, pale legs, a pale bill with a dark tip. it was walking in the water looking for food. The other bird had white feathers, a light billI, pale legs and feet. The bill appeared longer and lighter than a snowy egrets. The feet were not yellow like a snowy egrets. This bird flew and changed location more than the darker one. Neither vocalized while I was there. Photos attached.
