I actually saw about eight together at a tiny pond off Ark Road in
Gloucester, just South of US 17 yesterday about 10:40, but they were gone
when I passed later, around 4:00 p.m. I saw a male Prothonotary about 7:45
this morning.

This morning while enjoying breakfast on my porch I was astonished to see a
flock of about 12 great egrets flying by, heading north toward Aldie. Some
other birds I saw or heard are listed below. Unfortunately, none of them
was clearly carrying food or feeding fledglings! A lovely way to start the
day regardless.
