On Tuesday and Wednesday mornings this week, early, there were about 100 Great Egrets roosting in trees around the northeast edge of St. Catherine LAke (just south of Co Rd. 8, Scott County, near intersection of Mushtown Rd. that leads to Prior Lake). As the sun came up they began to disperse in various directions on both mornings.
They were NOT present this morning (June 18). Was this a breeding colony that was disrupted and displaced from somewhere else? Or does someone have another idea for why so many egrets and so temporarily? Anyone else see this assemblage?
