Yesterday afternoon, an egret waded along the shallows on the Cutler Park side of the Charles in Dedham for awhile, before a duck got it riled and it began flapping its wings and tried to make the duck go away and then it walked onto a sandbar in the low river before flying the final 30 feet or so to the Millennium Park side of the river in West Roxbury.

I saw it with my kids today and thought it was some kind of white heron. Beautiful bird.

Turns out an egret is a type of heron (I found out while researching egrets). There are several kinds of herons - including great blue herons, which look similar to egrets, only, well, bluer, and with a black racing stripe, and black-crowned night herons, which lost out in the long-leg department.
All three have made appearances at Millennium Park.
