I was the only one with binocs, so I took a quick look and saw the black stripe through the eye and then handed the binocs over to Kay Partelow who instantly identified it as an OSPREY, then she handed the binocs to Deb. I had never seen an Osprey flying so low before. The palm trees at the duck pond were still covered with SNOWY EGRETS, along with some BLACK-CROWNED NIGHT HERONS and a couple of GREAT EGRETS towards the top. These close views of the egrets made for fine viewing of their colorful breeding plumage lores through binocs: the Snowy Egrets have reddish lores while the Great Egret has lime green lores. Kay was astounded at the number of birds in this new rookery. As evening set in, the palm tree area sounded like a jungle!
