Location Dollar Bay, Naples, FL
The guide knew a place where a bunch of these would often hang out, and sure enough they were there, about two dozen. As far as I could tell, they all had the buffy-orange cap. They were a bit shier than the Snowy Egrets; some of them started flying to different perches as if they were about to fly away.
I wasn't expecting to see these in the mangroves because they generally feed in fields (with, you know, cattle), but I guess sometimes they act like "regular" egrets. So this was a nice bonus.
All in all a very productive outing, with four new birds!
