Just to add to Chris Lewis fine report about the Snowy Egret sighting for
April 21, 2005. The Snowy Egret was also sighted early this morning in the
water area along Princess of Wales (Arboretum parking side) drive and again,
as stated, late today up to about 6pm. At one point it was perched on a
rock close to shore permitting a closer look at the bird.
Directions courtesy of Chris Lewis [DIRECTIONS: From Hwy 417 in Ottawa,
take the Parkdale exit and go south to Carling Ave., then left (east) on
