This afternoon at around 12:45pm, Heydi Lopes and I found a Cattle Egret at Floyd Bennett Field. It was feeding fairly close to the road within Field "B". It didn't seem too concerned about cars driving by, but did move a short distance when a loud motorcycle blasted down the road. Here's a link to a map with a placemark noting the location:
