Michael, It's not that rare to see one in Richmond. I've seen them regularly at Henricus and other places nearby.

Great Egret in Richmond I thought I read on here that someone had seen a Great Egret in Richmond, but I'm not sure. Anyway, whether or not anyone else has, I saw one in Richmond today. It was at Meadow Farm Museum/Crump Park, along the big pond where all the Canada Geese hang out. It flew around the pond for a bit, then flew up and perched in a tree. It's rare to see an egret in Richmond - even rarer to see one perch in a tree! Michael Shapiro Short Pump
