Another nice birdie, Bruce.
It's a Great Egret. Easily distinguished from other white egrets by the big
yellow bill and black legs. The Snowy Egret has a black bill and is
slightly smaller. The cattle egret is much smaller and has a smaller bill.

While I was stalking the turkeys yesterday, I saw this bird fly past
and land in a not too distant tree. I was hoping to get a few shots
of him before he took off. I moved slowly towards him and took a
shot. Then moved to the side a bit and got this shot. He took off
right after this shot. I got one in flight. If someone wants to ID
the bird I would be grateful.
