Cobirders, The Snowy Egrets have come back to City Park! Unlike the Double-crested Cormorants and Black-crowned NightHerons that they have shared the island at Farril Lake with during the past 3-4 years, they don't seem to have begun nesting. This afternoon, one of the three egrets was standing on the shore, head raised up to the sky like it was searching for the the rest of the old gang from last summer.
To get within a hundred feet of the rookery--a nice distance for photography, young birders, and rookery-watchers, relax and sit on the bench just in front of The Children's Fountain in the SSE corner of Farril Lake, the largest in City Park. Also at the lake, on the east side, there was a single Ross's or Ross/Snow Goose with bluish streaks on it's back and sides, among the Canadas and Mallards.
