SkyWatch Friday 004 - A Great Egret or a Great White Heron?


I don't know how to tell them apart, and I didn't get a good look to give you clues. If I'm going to guess, I think it's a great egret based solely on the information plaques scattered around this spot of paradise. There are plaques for the great egret and the great blue heron, but not for a great white heron. Perhaps you can tell?

Taken on a cool, cloudless day in Boyd Hill Nature Preserve in St. Petersburg, Florida.
