Title: Please help to identify them
Post by Hercules on Aug 10^th, 2004, 12:24am

I don't have SLR on hand, use DC with all digital Zoom to take, very poor quality.

brown in color, approx 1.5 to 2 feet long, rich and beautiful blue and green color at tail part exposed when flying, not a good flyer as the action is quite clumsy. Possible a purple heron??

This one is more clear, looked like litte egret but grey/black in color.
