side. I was there from 6 to 8.45 pm this evening with

The Little Egret was seen at 8:30 am by Bill Lindley and myself at the mouth of
Pinecrest Creek in Ottawa. Later, it moved further out and was last seen at
9:00 am feeding right beside the American Avocet. Both birds can be seen with
a scope from the parking lot off of the Sir John A. MacDonal
The Little Egret is currently feeding just east of the mouth of Pinecrest
Creek. Visible from the Deschenes Rapids lookout parking lot off the parkway;

Birders,
The Little Egret is back at the mouth of Pinecrest Creek with the American
Avocet.
We recommend viewing from Britannia Point at the end of Cassels Road or the

Hi birders,
At 4:25pm, the Little Egret was observed from our balcony.It was located near
the same place as the American Avocet, but closer to the bike path.
Same directions as for the avocet.
Unfortunately, we don't see it right now. However, we'll keep looking and
update if it returns.
Cheerio
Great views today. At one point or time there were up to 2 great egrets and 2
great blue herons.
The Little Egret was grooming itself on a rock in the bay for 15+ minutes until
a great egret chased it off. But it is still here as if 12:30pm.
