I believe this to be GWH Please confirm

I think this is a Great White Heron. Can anyone confirm this ID?

I noticed a very interesting splitting of the color bands on the feathers on the following shot so I decided not to try to correct for it. sort of a rainbow effect.

Greg,

I believe that you are correct in the ID. As to the rainbow, I would guess that it is a subtle moire pattern, but I could be wrong.

Very nice shots. :smile:

Now, where you were standing I know you shot more than just 2. Where are the other 1500 shots of those GBH that we scared up for you?

Nice captures of the GWH.

Very nice shots. I have similar ones that I'll post sooner or later.

Gale, Thank you and you are correct. I should have read more. It clearly says the Egret has black or dark legs while the GWH has greenish yellow legs.
