Nyctanassa violacea
These might be Great Blue Herons, but the necks look shorter and the mask on the bird at left looks more pronounced than I've usually seen on Blue Herons.
Seen in a saltwater/brackish cove.
You are right -- I just read on another site that they are seen here until about mid-Sept.
Where are you seeing it is out of range? On the link I provided, you are within the summer/migration range.
Thank you! Seems like it is quite far outside of its usual range? Seen August 23rd. Would it be here to spend the winter?
