Sorry---I guess my hands are so cold, that first letter slipped away !
Subject: Cattle Egret & 12 Sparrow Day--Rondeau & Hillman's Birders: My calendar says it's May, but who would believe that ! After 10 hours of cold biting wind, cold showers, and thunderstorms, Ann White and myself came up with ~ 80 bird species . We had some help from our OFO hike guide, Maris Apse [thank you ]. As is often the case--our last bird was our pride and joy-- a stunning Cattle Egret in Adult Breeding plumage--6:00 pm on #3 Highway. We saw many of the birds listed elsewhere today, but we were pleased to have a 12 Sparrow day. This was a wet feat [wet feet ] indeed. Directions to Cattle Egret: # 3 Highway [ Talbot Trail ]--just West of Port Crewe. On the lakeside, at the corner of Radmore Road.
