I thought I was seeing Egrets across Galla Lake, but Eric said it was Pelicans.
Google said it was an Egret.
When the Moderna booster is approved, I’m ready. I got my last Shingles and Flu shot today. In30 days,I bet the booster is okayed and I’ll get in line.
Pelicans have yellow legs. Great egrets and cattle egrets have black to grey legs.
Cattle egrets: Smaller heron with a yellow bill that often perches with its neck drawn in. Nonbreeding adults are entirely white with black legs. Breeding adults are white but have yellow legs and golden feathers on their head, back, and breast. Great egrets: Large, white bird with long, black legs. S-curved neck and a daggerlike yellow bill. Look for a greenish area between their eyes and the base of the bill. While they fly, their neck is tucked in, and their long legs trail behind.
Pelican: Adult American White Pelicans are snowy white with black flight feathers visible only when the wings are spread. A small patch of ornamental feathers on the chest can become yellow in spring. The bill and legs are yellow-orange. Immatures are mostly white as well, but the head, neck, and back are variably dusky.
