David Dowell, Dean Shoup and I are looking at a young, dark morph Reddish Egret first seen from the dam near the outlet canal. One can walk down the face of the dam and get closer.

Smaller than nearby Great Blue Herons. Grayish-red body, neck and head. Yellow eyes; Darker grayish wings. Long, dark, relatively even width bill (tip to base).

Began running actively and "canopy feeding"

Photos will be to eBird later.
