If anyone else sees this bird, please attempt to get better photos. My far away in the wind digi-scoped photos are not very good. I took video that isn't good either, it shows the bird's behavior (running and dancing around). I will submit a record to the CBRC, with the description and behavior of the bird. I don't think the photos or video will be very convincing. The bird wasn't very close. We mainly identified the bird by the behavior of the bird, and we could see the two toned bill, that was pink and black. The size of the bird seemed right to us as well.
Thanks to Dave Silverman for letting me know about this bird, which they saw even further away than we did, so he was hoping I could go there and see if it was for sure a Reddish Egret. Van Truan and I have both seen Reddish Egrets many times, and we are 100% sure that this white egret/heron is a Reddish Egret!
