Hello, After reading Jeremy Meyer's post Con and me ran down the lake road
looking for the Snowy Egret. We were at the spot at 2:30 this aft. and
failed to see it.
I had a bad feeling on the way there because we saw 7 scattered Great
Egrets, all on the wing. No yellow feet. We checked the Lone Elm/Howlett
Rd area and found 3 Cattle Egret a 150 yds east of Howlett on the south
side of Lone Elm. They were behind a house in a mowed yard. We never did
see a Great Egret on the ground. Some were perched in trees on Fraction
island in Lake Winnebago straight out from Wendt's supper Club.
We got a singing Bell's Vireo at the Hwy 45/Lake Road wayside in the
bathroom tree at 2:55 p.m.
At 3p.m. we got a pair of Eurasion Collared Doves at the farm on Hwy
45/Lake RD at Co. Rd N.
Those 2 birds flew in front of us and one landed on one barn structure, the
other on the other barn structure.
Three great Fond du Lac Co. birds in a half hour today.
I will check the Winnebago Co. Snowy Egret spot at i-41 and Co. Rd Y this
weekend and post if it is there.
Thanks anyway Jeremy.
Steve Mullen, Oshkosh, Winnebago Co.
