Thanks StianWaaler! He did not come out of the water but I think you are correct. He was too busy watching a man fishing close by.

You can see here Penny http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snowy_Egret Did this one have yellow feet? And your pictures are great =)

Most of the egrets near me are Great White Egrets with yellowish beaks. This is smaller and has a dark beak so I was not sure either.
