I see what looks like a single white bird on a branch at the top left side of the tree. Was it a different species from the others, or did it have a pigment mutation causing it to be white?
That's what I thought, but I took a picture of a flock of female red-winged blackbirds earlier this year, and when i got home I notice that one of them had one wing that was half pure white, and half normal color (everything else about the bird was normal), so I thought maybe the white bird in your picture had a similar pigment mutation.

hi Joey.. you are correct about the different species. there were about 4-5 different birds in that morning's meeting :)

The white bird is a Cattle egret
