We (Glen Criswell and myself) have had a number of Cattle Egret sightings of
over 2000 on Highway 79 and on the road to Island 13 in Lake County.
From August 14-26, 1994, Glen had a roost near Cates (due north of
Tiptonville about 4 miles) which had over 2600 Cattle Egrets in it.
I think Jeff Wilson also has some large sightings in the Lake-Dyer County
area.
