More plumage notes from this morning.  Great Egret has plumes, but with yellow bill not yet in breeding condition.  Glossy Ibis still there but not very glossy in dull light.  Whitish mottling suggests non-breeding, perhaps young, bird.  Pacific Heron has maroon breeding colour in wings.  Pair of BSKs not a pair but from rufous collars probably 2 wandering young from last season.
