This full breeding plumage bird had previously been reported to the MassBird list, and I was fortunate to see it in the field beyond the panne areas (where the blinds are). I've not seen a Cattle Egret in full breeding plumage - complete with orange plumes - and so this was a treat.

It was not at all skittish, but because it was in a protected area (per DWWS signs) my photos had to be at a distance and are a bit fuzzy due to having to hand-hold my 400mm zoom lens.
