It appears the Tricolored Heron X snowy egret is at Dunstan landing. There was a nice comparison to the Tricolored and snowys that were also nearby. It was as gray as the tricolored, no rusty yellow on the back, white underneath and some white coming down from the head down the neck, black legs and beak. Yellow lores on beak. When it flew you could see some white on the wings.
Interestingly it was doing the foot action of a snowy egret where they shuffle their feet to attract the fish. Even though this bird did not have yellow feet it was doing the behavior.
