Yes, I wanted to alert you now rather than later, but most of all on behalf of the team, I'd like to say Welcome to Project Noah!

Anne Marie McCaffrey, you're correct. I'm just a observer, so I don't know the name of this bird. In the next time, I'll ask for help. ;) Thanks!

Egreta thula has black bill and yellow feet. This looks like Great Egret, Ardea alba.
