[TN-Bird] Cattle Egrets

Farm Pond along Cages Bend Rd.
Sumner Co. TN
7-26-04

I have seen 1 or 2 Cattle Egrets off and on all summer long at
a farm pond near my house.  The most I had ever seen at one time
was 4.  I was totally surprised today to find a flock of 22
this afternoon on my way home from work.  One of the birds was a juvenile 
complete with black bill and legs, and most of the adults still had their buffy 
breeding plumes.  They were accompanied by a single Great Egret which allowed 
for good comparisons of size/shape etc...
