Howdy All!
I'd like to recommend a website with some great comparison photos of
Little Egret vs Snowy Egret as well as a helpful discussion on field ID
characteristics. Although the RBAs are currently noting that the Little
Egret has no plumes, these photos from 7/18 show a single, mostly intact
plume (of course, it may have lost it over the past couple of weeks).
Other characteristics are discussed, too, including the face, bill,
feet, and overall size difference. You can view the site directly at:

or you can go the long way [grin] via clicking on the camera icon at my
Unofficial List of Current Rarities website at:

As for the MDShorebirds website...well, updates are going to be slower
than anticipated, thanks to REAL world stuff like this year's 2nd job
change and move. YIKES! I still live in Baltimore, but now work 100+
miles away in St Marys county (Pax River)...soon to move there, too.
So, in the mean time, I'll post stuff when I can...
