1. There's other options (snowy egret, immature little blue heron, immature reddish egret), but - for various reasons, including low photo-quality (no offence) making bill colour unreliable - I discount them. From general big-heron structure, I think it's great egret.
2. Palm warbler - supercilium, yellowy vent, soft streaks on chest.

I'm guessing Little Egret for the first and Palm Warbler for the second.

Certainly not a Little Egret (which I'd guess would be quite a rarity for Florida) on structure & would have yellow feet. Personally would go for Great Egret. Agree on Palm Warbler

Thank you I agree the photograph is poor also the bird was a long way away and also flying away from me which did not help. From size alone I also thought Great Egret. Mike
