The Snowy Egret is still present. I managed a few photos. I screwed up with with the previous directions. After turning on Rymer Road continue past the large ponds on the left (not visible from road, but seen on Google maps). Pass through the tiny community of Port Maitland, at which point the road curves to the left. After a few hundred meters you will cross over train tracks and on the left there is a pond with a high fence around it. The SNEG is sitting on a stump in this pond. This pond is about 2.5 km from the intersection of Rymer and North Shore Drive.
