Highest image is a Green Heron (lat)Butorides Virescens; very common in mangrove sea-sides where it feeds on crabs and small fish .Erroneously called Crab-catcher by my neighbours in Jonesville-Point as this is the name of the Night-Heron(Larger and Grayish)
Nr 2 is an slightly dirty or shadowed but still 'Great White Egret,, a heron variety and very common in the America's and on my grounds in Jonesville when the creek is full in Januari.
