    Default Egret

    Guessing perhaps this one is a female, as its plumage is nothing fancy? Shots were taken from my balconey.

    I agree your male birds should have breeding plumage by now. Nice views from your balcony!

    I love it when these land in the yard. I am still gaga over the wildlife here. The best is on a windy day...they wag their necks back and forth to match foilage moving with the wind. I had a much smaller one on the front porch, perched on the cement wall.
