Looks like it was close to shedding.
Poor thing must have been hit crossing the road.
Two hanging out in a tree.
I am not sure, the feather and plumage were "fluffy" and bird seemed smaller then a Great Egret (which was hanging further up river), is it a Snow Egret or is it a juvenile great?
Seen on the ground from less than 50 m away.
Gorgeous coloring. One of the most beautiful wild creatures I’ve found.
