This afternoon at 2:30 PM there was a Great Egret and three smaller white egrets in the field next to the Pescadero post office. The smaller ones were about 3/4 the size of the Great Egret - see picture. All the egrets had yellow bills and black or grey-black legs and feet.
To me, the smaller egrets looked similar to the 3 Cattle Egrets that were on Water Lane in November, but I can't distinguish Cattle Egrets from juvenile Great Egrets. What do you think?
