Brad Walker and I took a nice walk along the Jim Schug Trail from Dryden Lake almost to the end at Willow Crossing. Highlights were a GREAT EGRET along the lake shore near the south end, first on the far side in the cattails then sitting right along the trail on some logs. Passerines were abundant with lots of activity and a good variety of warblers, but nothing too unusual. Two EASTERN SCREECH-OWLS responded to us and called for a long time from a marshy area, a bit odd.
