Could be what she saw though a bit far north. Not unheard of but unusual.<BR/><BR/>Also I suppose it could be a yellow crowned night heron. <BR/><BR/>http://www.mbr-pwrc.usgs.gov/Infocenter/i2030id.html<BR/><BR/>They have a buffy white crown. I wouldn't describe it as a cross betwen a bald eagle and a GBH but who knows. <BR/><BR/>Intermediate morphs between the regular great blue heron and the white phase of the GBH are called the Würdemann's morph. They look like a regular great blue but with a white head. Good photos are hard to find but here is one.<BR/>http://www.otterside.com/slidejpg/herwurd-l.jpgKirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15821760169329951459noreply@blogger.com
