[va-bird] Re: search for Reddish Egret


The Reddish Egret wasn't visible from the causeway to Chincoteague between 
11:30 a.m. and about 1:00 p.m. today, but scores of herons, egrets, ibis, and a 
few stilts are there and most pleasant to study; Tom Saunders, Lincoln 
Saunders, and I gave it a good hour's try there and went on to check the 
refuge.  
Best birds of the trip today were a molting Marbled Godwit and a molting 
Western 
Willet, both in Swan Cove.  Both are normally on Great Plains nesting grounds 
at this season, so it was a surprise to see both; I've never seen a summering 
Marbled Godwit at Chincoteague.  Probably both second-year birds.
