Today while walking the dog on the Freeville rail trail I flushed a large, white wading bird with a yellow bill, dark legs, and tail plumes. I wanted to rule out a white morph GBH, so I ran home and grabbed my bins, and re-found the bird walking around in the middle of the Freeville marsh. With the bins, I could make out the lack of any crest, definitely dark legs, and greenish eye/lores. I also saw the white tail plumes indicating a breeding adult. The bird was happily feeding so it might stay a while.
