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. > On Sep 5, 2016, at 5:25 PM, Dale Brubeck <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > > 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. > > Dale Brubeck > > ______________________________________________________________________ > > Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society. > Please consider joining our Society, at www.ohiobirds.org/site/membership.php. > Our thanks to Miami University for hosting this mailing list. > > > You can join or leave the list, or change your options, at: > listserv.miamioh.edu/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=OHIO-BIRDS > Send questions or comments about the list to: [log in to unmask] ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
