A breeding plumage Cattle Egret was at the Tacoma Ave. sod farm after the
storms this morning. He likely arrived during or after the storms, as the
field he was in has had no standing water all month(as is the case for most of
the farm). It is possible he was there Friday, but when I was in the area
Thursday he was not there. Shorebird sightings for the morning are below.
