Virginia Fairchild and I watched the Reddish Egret at Rankin Bottoms from about 4:15 until 5:00PM this afternoon. We viewed it from the open area along the gravel road before you reach the coal tipple. It was on the East side of the road about 1/2 mile away across the water on a mud bar with some of the Great Egrets.
