Ardea alba
Sonoran desert by man made lake.
I know this is an Egret but what kind!! We usually have two or three around but had a flock of about 30 come in and have been here about a week now! What a treat. The males are strutting and arguing with other males.
I agree that these are all Great Egret! I have never seen so many together in one place. How wonderful!!
Great White Heron, Ardea herodias occidentalis, is a subspecies of Great Blue Heron. I don't see any here (none of the legs are yellow).
Agree that all are Great Egret, Ardea alba egretta.
