Really? I never would have guessed. How neat. =)

This is a tricky ID to make, but the pale legs and thicker yellow bill of this bird make me reasonably sure it's actually the somewhat rare White Morph of the Great Blue Heron, found only in the Florida Everglades and Keys. Great Egrets have darker legs and the bill is slimmer. What a great find and series of photos!
