JamesM Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 Taken this afternoon just east of Toronto. Given the colouring around the eyes and the dark legs, I'm guessing Great Egret and not Gr Blue Heron White Morph. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Spencer Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 (edited) Great Egret, for the reasons you gave. Black legs and feet, heavy yellow bill, green lores in breeding season. The white morph of Great Blue Heron is found only in south Florida, nowhere in Canada. Edited April 11, 2021 by Charlie Spencer 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be totally unprecedented. You’d have people coming from all over northern US/southern Canada to see that bird, if that’s what it was.

Yeah, that's why the field guide range maps are important. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
