Snowy Egret - of interest was the
seeing at Baker, San Bernardino Co.,
a Snowy Egret in the muddy stream
near the highway. It allows an
approach of about 30 yds & with 8x
binoculars could easily see the black
bill, black legs and yellowish feet.
When it flew the characteristic
fast wing beat in itself would
have distinguished it from the larger
American Egret.
