I recently saw a heron/egret I couldn't identify.... It was walking in
the edge of the surf, it looked like a Great Egret (and I had seen
several in the neighborhood), but it was all gray. It was very tall,
slim, graceful, the legs and bill grayish. It didn't have the shape of
a GBHeron. It tucked it's neck when it flew.
(Whisper: I was in Port Aransas. )
Checked several books and can't come up with a juvenile bird that fits.
Any ideas? |
