Saw a small white heron from the observation deck on the Peterson Pond loop 
trail below the MN Valley Wildlife Refuge headquarters this evening from 7PM or 
so until it hopped up onto a dead stick and showed me its yellow-gold feet. 
The bird was about 2/3 the size of the five Great Egrets it was associating 
with, had a bright black bill, black legs, yellow lores and an upturned-looking 
tail from its plumes. The bird was visible without a scope but you need a scope 
for a good I.D. It was feeding in water for the most part but will lift its 
foot on occasion. The bird was against the far left (East/SouthEast) shore as 
you look out from the observation deck area. (Refuge policy is established 
trails only.)
