- 1 apparent LEUCISTIC LITTLE BLUE HERON (photos and details to follow as soon as I get a chance; full breeding plumes suggested an adult or near-adult, nothing suggestive of hybridization. Need to study photos), 1 White-rumped Sandpiper, and 1 Fish Crow, Eastern Road Trail, 6/9 (with Coastal Quick Hit Van tour group).
