I thought I had photographed several juvenile Little Blue Herons, which are white when they are young and are common at this refuge at this time of year. Was surprised to see the black legs and yellow feet of a Snowy Egret when I was editing the photos. Also the Little Blue has a two-tone bill and the Snowy's is black.
