The Bird Nuts Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 (edited) Another birder asked us if we thought this could be a young Little Blue Heron (I believe this is the bird she was talking about). We told her we thought it was just another Snowy Egret...but now I want to make sure we got it right! Which one is it? Parker River NWR, Massachusetts, in early August.

akiley Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 I agree that this is a Snowy Egret. Juvenile Little Blue Heron should never show defined yellow on the lores as I see here. More greenish gray. I'm also not seeing a pale base to the bill shown by LBHEs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
