Technically the Great Egret is only a summer/migration visitor, but we firmly believe that they and the Grackles just move a few towns north/south (the Denton birds end up in Dallas/Fort Worth, the DFW birds go to Austin, etc.)</p><p><br /></p><p>The <b>Anhinga </b>[Anhinga anhinga] is VERY black. </p><p><br /></p><p>The <b>Great Blue Heron</b> [Ardea herodias] is quite a nice shade of light steelly blue into grey with a range of North &amp; Central America and the Caribbean (up close the bill is scarey sharp and you know they are watching you with their incredibly sharp vision).</p><p><br /></p><p>Finally, the <b>Great Egret</b> [also known as the Great White Heron, Ardea alba] is a brilliant white and found world-wide in the temperate regions. He&#039;s an ambush hunter, vs. the Snowy Egret (smaller and a stalker).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
