Since it hasn't received a lot of mention here lately, I thought I would note that the GREAT WHITE HERON found at Marshlands Conservancy at the end of August is still hanging around after not being seen for several weeks. Andrew Farnsworth relocated it on Sunday, and Tom and Gail found it again yesterday afternoon, when I was able to get up to take a look. Super cool bird, and seems to be only the fifth or sixth record for the state. It seems to be frequenting the bay on the south side of Maries Neck at low tide, visible from the trail along the neck after descending from the higher area of the preserve.
