No fair- posting pictures of immature birds - it's like trick questions on an exam.

#1

1 My guess snowy egret but could be great egret or even juvinile great blue heron

2 Coopers or juv. sharpy

3 golden or juv. bald

4 juv, Black crown or green heron

WAS THIS A TEST??????

The only egret (that I know of) I didn't mention was the cattle egret but the orange-yellow legs change with age and season?????? I'm gonna have to pull out my books for this one. Was that a hint ... juv little blue heron???
