This Egret was probably a juvenile CATTLE EGRET. It definitely had a black or very dark bill and black or very dark legs and feet. After seeing the bird fly by us, I walked back down to the pond itself to try to see the bird again, but I could not relocate it. We have been seeing four or five Snowy Egrets in the pond area most evenings, but this is the first time I had been able to see this Egret's bill and feet at the same time. We saw this bird between 6:30 and 7:00 this evening and that is the time of day we have been seeing Egrets in the pond area. A bit later I counted 52 DOWITCHERS in the southern half of this same pond. This is the largest number I've counted here this fall. A GREATER YELLOWLEGS was in the pond, too.
