Can anyone identify the type of Egret or heron this is? I checked my bird book and the Web and I still can not id it. Thanks for the help. The gallery is here. http://www.pbase.com/angler2/help_identify

It is a little blue heron (it is NOT a great blue heron). See here:

Thank you for the response. I can see from the face and beak that it is a little blue. Thanks again.
