> The bird I reported to eBird two days ago as a Great Egret (approximate size > of Great Blue Heron, white plumage, yellow bill, blackish legs and feet) is > back again this morning and was there last night as well fishing the east > bank of the Little River just south of the Wyandotte Street East Bridge. I > would do the usual thing and invite viewing from my deck but this morning the > deck is very icy and treacherous. Also, activity on my deck makes it fly > upstream toward the pollution control plant aka sewage treatment facility. It > is that facility, by the way, that warms these waters and makes them > attractive this time of year to egrets, herons, kingfisher, and the like. > > Kelly Morrissey > > Google Map of location HERE http://ow.ly/EInGD > > The Wyandotte Street East bridge can be accessed by taking the Manning Road > exit off either the 401 or EC Row expressway. Drive north to Riverside Drive > East, west until the marina and lighthouse, left (south) on Riverdale Avenue > three or so blocks to the intersection with the light. The bridge will be > just east of the intersection. Another good viewing vantage point for > waterfowl on this small tributary to the Detroit River is the bridge taking > Little River Road into Little River Corridor Park just a few blocks south of > there (continue on Riverdale Ave to get there). > >
