I think this bird needs more study. Caught him loafing in the panes off Eastern Trail yesterday and got some photos in strong side-lighting unfortunately.
I wonder two things: 1. why isn't Little Blue Heron one of the potential adults; and, 2. this bird has 2 strong, stiff head plumes, black legs and yellow feet. Little Egret should also be considered in the heritage. (Lores are quite yellow, however. )
Whatever the case, this is a striking bird in the right light.
