At least in the immediate area of the Clackamas/Willamette confluence,
egrets are fairly unusual. In five years here, I've had two sightings, one
a flyover high up, and one a single individual in the Rinearson Creek
wetlands, in Meldrum Bar park.

As an out-of-the-area birder, I find this thread interesting. Smith-Bybee
is not very far from Clackamas County by my reckoning and it gets dozens of
egrets. I'm surprised that places along the Clackamas River like Barton
Park or some of the farm fields out that way don't occasionally get flocks
of egrets. There seems to be a lot of open area around the confluence of
the Clackamas and Willamette Rivers that would be ideal for egret flocks
after a good week of rain.
