Follow up to Stan Long's observation of Great Egrets at Reesor Pond.
On Friday, June 19 late afternoon I counted 6 Great Egrets around Reesor
Pond.
Prior to this the most I had seen there this spring was 2. There were
also 3 Great
Blue Herons present that afternoon. I could see no leg bands on any of
the Great
Egrets.
Regarding the Ospreys (nest) I have been reporting in Aurora on top of
the cell phone
tower at Bloomington and Hwy 404 I had mentioned in one of my early
spring reports that
2 pairs of Osprey were fighting for the nest. It seems the 2nd pair of
Osprey built a
nest on top of the cell phone tower just south of Bethesda Rd. on the
east side of Hwy
404. Osprey are very active at both nests.
Good birding
Sigi
Aurora, On.
