OBOL;
Today just before noon, the SNOWY EGRET was present on Bybee Lake. It was
seen standing on the mudflats with 138 GREAT EGRETS at the far northwestern
corner of the lake. The small size was at first obvious, then (with scope)
could see the black bill, yellow lores and the yellow feet on black legs
when it flew. It was being harassed and chased by the larger Great
Egrets.
Also present was a MERLIN zooming after the numerous Barn Swallows.
eBird report and a very, very bad photo, can be found here:
