3 from Tobago, poor photos.
3 for confirmation / ID from SW Tobago. Apologies for some very blurred images. 1. Is the egret a tricoloured egret? The dark breast is confusing me. My field guide(s) seem only to show side on views. This was in a pond/creek on a golf course, but there were mangroves less than 50 yards away...- Freezo
