It is a Great White Heron. We have lots of them here in Central Florida.

Uh, oh. We've had a Great Egret and now a Great White Heron.

Anyone else want to chime in?

Hummmm...Egret..Heron.....Hummmm! In all the pics I see of the Heron..the feet aren't black.
Must at least be cousins!

The egret has a boxy "thing" on the underside of its neck. We have a lot of egrets here in the coastal VA area. We also have blue herons. My vote is that it is a white heron.

I'm getting quite the bird education here!

I should have bought that bird identification fold out card I saw everywhere.
