There is a lingering juvenile Little Blue Heron at Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge in Queens, NY. I saw the bird, or one just like it, about a month ago and just saw it again today. There are notes in the bird log of the LBH going back to Nov 25 or so and someone noted a "Snowy Egret" yesterday in the same location I saw the bird.
The bird was in the marsh bordering the bay just south of the West Pond just as you start out on the West Pond trail. Hope it stays for the Christmas count.
