There has been a very obliging great egret wading and feeding in the
large shallow area of the Rouge River, just north of the GO train
tracks. It's been prominently visible to hundreds of commuters in the
evening around 6PM forthe last 2 days. It can also be well seen from
the pedestrian overpass across the river.
