GREAT EGRETS have returned in force to their nesting colony on the far side
of Bybee Lake (North Portland). I counted 46 with binoculars; I suspect a
scope view would have turned up a few more.

Water levels there have receded but are still high, blocking access to both
blinds. However one can reach the edge of Bybee Lake via the paved path to
see the egret colony.
