Frank (29X) was with 7 other Great Egrets close together near the observation 
tower at Tschache Pool in Montezuma NWR this afternoon about 2:15pm, the only 
egrets my party saw in our quick tour of the refuge. Only 1 of the egrets, not 
Frank, was actively foraging. The temperature was in the low 40s Fahrenheit and 
there was a brisk NW wind. People on the observation tower were cold. The 
egrets looked a bit cold, too, but they were partially sheltered by nearby 
cattail marsh. Great Blue Herons were much more active, flying over the pool, 
or scattered about to feed. There was no ice nor snow here, and the expansive 
pool has plenty of water available for foraging.

It’s cool to learn where “our” Great Egrets breed. We only see a few at a time 
and briefly in early April, but in late summer we accumulate scores of them.

2018-04-14 Thread metetlow 
Yesterday I posted a message about a Great Egret at Tschache pool that has a 
yellow tag 29x. Here is the response from Chip Weseloh about “Frank”.  His 
email is attached and he (or I)would appreciate any information on future 
sightings.
