Today as I went to do the hawk watch at Cranberry, I saw a Cattle Egret in the field on the east side of Hall's Road just south of Bayly. It as with hundreds of Canada Geese, two Cackling Geese and a few gulls. It quickly flew to the east and appeared to land at the back of the field. Others looking for it couldn’t find it so I suspect it then flew to the fields north of Bayly and east of Hall’s Road. An unidentified “small” egret was seen here yesterday that likely was the same bird.
The hawk watch was a bust but lots of ducks and several sparrows amused me. Hall’s Road is just east of Lakeridge Rd. off Bayly in west Whitby.
