Do the white ones have a spoon shaped bill? If so, they're some kind of spoonbill( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spoonbill ). If they have long thin bills, my guess would be they are snowy egrets ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egret ). They dark ones might be Eastern Reef Egrets ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_Reef_Egret ).

just looked around google i believe they are egrets. the white ones will turn pink from eating the crawfish.

the dark ones probably are the eastern reef egrets.

zoomed in some of the dark ones have a bluish beak.
