Hi all,
Especially considering how many birders we have seen this morning, I thought I would report that Marion Sprague and I are currently looking at a/the LITTLE EGRET at the north end of Eastern Road Trail.
This is the "definitive" one(s) with two even-length long plumes without "shag" below, and greenish-gray lores; no sign of yellow but it is far enough that I could not swear by it.
Mustard-yellow feet, longer and marginally thinner and more pointed bill, lankier neck and legs, and slightly larger size all apparent
Additionally, we had the TRICOLORED HERON earlier, two drake NORTHERN SHOVELERS, and a nice mix of tarting shorebirds including 10-12 Semipalmated Sandpipers, 5 Short-billed Dowitchers, 1 WHITE-RUMPED SANDPIPER, and 1 Greater Yellowlegs.
