Thank you, friend. My photo is ok, now?
Yes, I wanted to alert you now rather than later, but most of all on behalf of the team, I'd like to say Welcome to Project Noah!
Great, S Frazier. Thanks. I'm a new user.
Hello. I've corrected the "format" of your common and scientific names. Cheers
Anne Marie McCaffrey, you're correct. I'm just a observer, so I don't know the name of this bird. In the next time, I'll ask for help. ;) Thanks!
Egreta thula has black bill and yellow feet. This looks like Great Egret, Ardea alba.
