Thank you all much for reporting the tagged egret, wing tag YELLOW code:E13.
This is really important - an amazing - information. This bird is now three years old. It was tagged on 8 July, 2013, on Elder's Marsh in Jamaica Bay, New York City, soon before it fledged. E13 was also seen last year (2015) on 14 May near Andover, MA. The bird was in breeding plumes. Maybe it's heading back that way? Chip Weseloh, retired from the Canadian Wildlife Service and copied here, has been tagging Greats for several years. (We use his protocol.) The NYC birds are all tagged in yellow. Please keep up the good spotting. Susan Susan B.
