I was at the Hoover Boardwalk today, and looking for the snowy egret.  But what I saw with others was an immature little blue heron.  Pale yellow-gray legs and feet, beak was like a little blue heron.  But the bird appeared to be entirely white.  It was hanging out with ring-billed gulls off the end of the board walk.

Also saw many killdeer, a couple of pectoral sandpipers, maybe 4 stilt sandpipers (identified by others).  Many semi-palmated plovers, maybe a leas sandpiper, and maybe a Baird's.  There were several birders, all seeing various birds.  But the white wading bird we saw was not the snowy egret.  That would have been additional fun.
