On Wed I counted 50 Great Egrets in a pasture on the N side of Arndt Rd,
Clackamas Co. This is just before Arndt meets Knights Bridge at a stoplight
about 2 mi W of Canby. The flock was loafing close to the road, strung out
along the banks of a water filled ditch leading away from the road thru the
pasture.
A friend alerted me to the presence of the flock about 2hrs earlier. She
estimated dozens. On her drive past they had been in flooded corn stubble on
the N side of Knights Bridge about half a mile away. She had seen the flock in
that field since Sun. Over the course of the past 3-4 yrs she has also
reported seeing single egrets in that field from time to time.
From his description of location this may have been where Bob O' Brien reported
seeing 17 Great Egrets on Mar 18 to begin this thread.
