Thanks Gordon Dietzman! I never thought about that before.
Lee, This is a great series of photos of a great egret. This spotting has been added to the Cranes mission, but egrets, herons, and storks, while they look a lot like cranes, are not cranes. You probably should remove these from that mission. If you have questions on how to do that let me know and I can show you. Thanks...
