After you join the mission, you will need to edit this spotting in order to add it to the mission. The drop down box is on the right under the location entry. While you are editing, you can update the common name, scientific name, and external link (use the one for Wikipedia, since that is what Liam gave you).

This is the rare "Great White Heron", a subspecies of Great Blue Heron found only in southern Florida and the Caribbean Islands. Easily confused with the Great Egret, but note the heavy bill, pale lores, and head/breast plumes. Great Egrets only have plumes on their backs. Nice find!
