"Sam" is the bird at the center of several pictures of ours.
You can see him here:

What kind of bird is s/he?
Scroll up to see the poll at the top of the page.
I'm going to set it up as a poll, but if someone has a better (and/or more correct!) Post it, and I'll add it as an option! |

I think you may be correct.... here's a page I found...
http://www.oceanwanderers.com/NYGWHeron.html
It shows a Great White Heron, and tells how to tell the difference: The GWH has a two tone beak and pale legs. "Sam" seems to have a mostly uniform beak, and orangier legs.
I'm SUCH an ornithologist..... |
