Although common breeders in southern Maine, great egrets are only spring over-shoots or late-summer wanderers in central, eastern, and northern Maine.
Post-breeding dispersal of heron family birds has begun. Tuesday a single great egret arrived at Essex Woods. By Thursday six egrets were seen there; this morning NINE great egrets were in the wetland.
Others have better photos, but one quick shot of six of the birds I saw early this afternoon is here. All nine were there, but not in my one photo.
