Scott Zimmerman obtained photos of what I believe the same bird, and it was indeed a juvenile Snowy Egret. It had a black upper mandible, black shins, and yellow feet. I saw a couple of others who posted photos calling it a Little Blue, but it was still the Snowy. Just wanted to give everyone a heads up.

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.

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.
