Hi:

Unless I'm way off base my research shows size range for Intermediate Egret
as between 65 to 72 CM, slightly larger than a Snowy Egret, and comparable
to Little Blue Heron. None of my sources show any overlap with Great Egret.

I have attached a link to a badly overexposed photo of the Egret taken last
Friday the 21st which shows the white egret with a Great Blue Heron. I can
attest that it much closer in size to a Great Blue than a Snowy Egret.

Does anyone else who has seen the Nisqually bird think it is the size of an
Intermediate Egret?
