Hi all,
I was curious if anyone has photographed or otherwise documented a/the second Little Egret this year. While one bird has clearly returned and has been its usually predictably unpredictable self in the Presumpscot River in Portland-Falmouth, following the same general routine as summers past, I was curious as to the other reports from here and elsewhere of more than one bird. Specifically, my interest is whether or not folks have been able to eliminate a hybrid Snowy x Little as a possibility, which is not an easy thing to do. With "our" Little Egret back for Year 4, it is more than possible that it has successfully bred by now, and hybrids are known on this side of the Atlantic. I ask only out of personal curiosity and investigation; I'll leave the list-policing to others.
Many thanks for any info you may have,
Derek
