Im curious, these birds are commonly seen in SW Florida. They are small like this bird. I was looking today to distinguish them from a much larger bird that looks the same, also seen here in Sarasota. I believe there’s one in your other pictures. I know it has a different name. Please, I’d like to know the correct names for each bird.
Thank you
Hello Jamie, thank you for reaching out. You may be thinking of Snowy Egrets that are about the same size as a White Ibis. Snowy Egrets typically have dark bills and feet, but plumage may vary. Here is the All About Birds page on Snowy Egrets: https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Snowy_Egret/
