I know, I wish more were. I am just getting the hang of Project Noah, but I think it's great.

No problem! Glad to see someone else from the area posting :)

Thanks for pointing that out. That's an easy way to tell the difference. I changed the common name on this spotting.

The Snowy Egret is smaller than the Great Egret and the Snowy also has a black bill where the Great has a yellow bill.
