I don't know if this water bird is properly called a White Egret or a Heron. I also don't think it is an albino of the fairly common blue Herons we see here either. I have never seen another one of these up here before. I walk by this same little frog pond almost every evening on my 'sanity stroll'... this guy just showed up the other day.

I am not an ornithologist, nor do I play one on TV, but the thin beak & lack of "shaggy" neck feathers lead me to think it's an egret.  Are the legs black?

Legs are dark-colored, and not orange or peachy. I'll have to be more stealthy to get a better picture, as it is very shy. Saw it again yesterday on my hike... it's alone for sure. And making a good living in these little ponds up the road. Seems to be hitting each of them.

Some beautiful pics here. Places I dream about spending the rest of my life at. Nothing like this where I live.

Beautiful shots, Greg.
