Reading the posts about possible Great Egret nesting here in Oregon reminds me of the wonderful photo my husband David Morey took in the Smith Oaks/High Island area near Galveston, Texas in May, and thought I'd share it with you. https://www.flickr.com/photos/morey_shots/13992991899/player/ This rookery contains not only Great Egrets but also nesting Roseate Spoonbills and other herons, and even has alligators! Highly recommended if you're in the area. Sandi Morey, NE Portland
