RE: [cayugabirds-l] egrets

[Muhammad Arif]

I was just at Ithaca Falls and I can confirm they are Great Egrets. One was at 
the base of the falls, the other two up on the gorge wall on the north side 
farther away from the falls. The one from the base flew over to one of the 
egrets, they had a little squabble and all three remained on the wall. Every 
once in a while, one would fly down to the water lever and search for food.

Pretty cool to watch wildlife so close to home. (I live two blocks from Ithaca 
Falls)

Other observers reported three Great Egrets (the much more expected species, 
black legs with yellow bills) at this location last night. Interesting spot for 
them, so cool observation.

Re: [cayugabirds-l] egrets

[Linda Orkin]

That is an interesting spot. I wonder what effect abundant rain and water flow 
might have had on this spot that perhaps made it more attractive and lured them 
there.

[cayugabirds-l] egrets yesterday

[Candace Cornell]

Yesterday, while scanning the lake from the Wells College Boathouse, I saw
two white egrets flying south, down the lake. Unfortunately, they were too
far away for me to get an ID, although I suspect they were Great Egrets.
Has anyone seen any egrets in the basin this year?
Candace
