Title: Swinhoe`s Egret picture
Post by Sean Minns on Jul 14^th, 2003, 10:42pm

:)Dear Forrest and Marcus

I believe the picture of the Swinhoe's Egret is actually an Eastern Reef Egret. The leg color and structure are a bit of a giveaway.

Sincerely

Dear Sean,

Thanks for your message. The bird was not shown well in the picture indeed. We actually saw the crest feathers and slightly blue face in the field.

Regards
Tung

Here is another pic. of that Egret. It shows more clear that it is a Swinhoe`s Egret.
