What field marks does this bird show?
Larger size obvious? (compared to Snowy)
long pale gular area on lower mandible?
gray lores?
solid black legs?

The little Egret was seen on the west side of Gardiner park around 6pm.
Who do we contact? What email? Will it actually be read?

About ten of us had good views of the bird for about half an hour starting
about 1:30 this afternoon. It was close to the previously reported spot, at
40.776103, -73.968390. This is near the junction of the four asphalt paths.
There is an open grassy area just to the northeast.

Thanks.
I haven't seen any discussion about probable origin. Any thoughts?

Has anyone researched the possibility that this is an escapee?

Thanks for the update.
Not to be a broken record, as I've asked this before, but has anyone
investigated the possibility that this bird is an escapee? Any informed
opinion on this topic?
Now I know Montezuma refuge is a beautiful place, as many years ago I lived
nearby, but it's a long trip
