Our bird for this week's quiz can be most often on pine woodlands around the southeastern U.S. - have fun and good luck!

Last week's bird, with only head and neck to look at turned out to be a little trickier than I had anticipated. The keys to identification here are eye color, lores color (the fleshy area between the bill and eye), and bill color.The possibilities for white members of the heron/egret family in Florida would be the following: Great White Heron, Great Egret, Snowy Egret, white morph Reddish Egret, immature Little Blue Heron, and Cattle Egret. We can eliminate Great White Heron, Great Egret, and immature Little Blue Heron based upon bill color (the first 2 having yellow bills, the LBH bill is bicolored, grayish and black). Snowy Egret drops by the wayside because of yellow lores (which are red in breeding plumage) and also a dark eye. The Cattle Egret has a yellow bill and lores in non-breeding plumage; immature Cattle Egrets do have a dark bill but still have yellow lores. Light eyes, dark lores and dark bill leave us with only the white morph Reddish Egret - our bird for quiz #31!
