Little Egret (Egretta garzetta garzetta) - 20250128-01

            Please, no invitations to award/forced comment groups or to those with large/animated comment codes.

Small snow-white heron with slender dark bill, blackish legs, and yellowish feet ("golden slippers"). Breeding adult has 2 long wispy head plumes and a spray of white plumes ("aigrettes") on the lower back. Inhabits a wide variety of wetlands: lakes, rivers, marshes, estuaries—almost anywhere with small fish. Occurs as singles or small loose groups; nests and roosts communally. Distinctive within its range, but compare with larger Great and Intermediate Egrets, stockier Cattle Egret, and white morph reef herons.  (eBird)

So many of these lovely little herons at the wetland, mixed in with a fair number of Great Egrets and other herons.  They would fly down the river ahead of us and perch high on the mangroves along the shore.
