Julie, they're backkkk. I couldn't find my suit but trust me they are beautiful. When you get here, we'll sit on my lanai and watch them. They are all in a row, as we speak, following the outline of the shade from the trees. I guess they don't like the sun? What are they doing in FL????
I am so looking forward to the days of sitting with you on your lanai and watching your feathered friends!

Snowy, great white and common egrets can all be found in Florida. They like the marshy conditions. I couldn't tell what kind they were in your lovely photographs but, here are some generalizations to assist you with being able to identify them:

Snowy - Black bill with yellow feet
Common - yellow bill, black feet, 37"-41" in height
Great - yellow bill, black feet, taller than 48"
