When the water drops a little I will retrieve that folding chair!

I believe that an egret is a name that can be interchanged with some breeds of herons.

About five years ago with a high creek flow rate a giant Blue Heron was perched on the same limb.

Good photos but that looks like an egret to me.
While I would call this one an Egret - here is more info that says many are actually herons from Wikipedia
-An egret (pron.: /ˈiːɡrət/) is any of several herons, most of which are white or buff, and several of which develop fine plumes (usually milky white) during the breeding season. Many egrets are members of the genera Egretta or Ardea which also contain other species named as herons rather than Egrets. The distinction between a heron and an egret is rather vague, and depends more on appearance than biology.
Another great day in the adventure of exploration and sight.
