With a view to this weekend’s bird-tallying fest, I might mention there is both a Great Egret and an Intermediate Egret at Kelly Swamp, sometimes together.  The Great is the larger (in-focus) bird.

As we have discussed before, the Intermediate has a different head, bill and gape.  This one also has a smidgeon of nuptial plumes (not shown here).
