Sort of a cheat, I was at the NC Aquarium at Fort Fisher a few weeks back when I shot these Wood Ducks (Aix sponsa)

Not a cheat; they look like wild and wooly wood ducks to me!

Re ppb's egret, the loooong neck, bill shape, black legs, and greenish lores (area between the eye and the beak) are pretty diagnostic for Great Egret. Here's a closeup of one I took in the SF Bay Area a couple of years ago.


Additional images from that excursion are here.
