[SBB] Cattle Egret again - 6/15

[[[email protected]]]

This afternoon (6/15) at 3:00 pm the CATTLE EGRET was seen again on the south side of the heronry island at Almaden Lake.  I'm thinking that this egret may be spending time deep within the cane brakes blending in with the Great & Snowy Egrets and their young, and then occasionally coming out onto the outer limbs.  I saw the bird at mid-afternoon, so perhaps it doesn't matter what time of day it's looked for.  Once visible, the apricot-colored crown, breast and back feathers, plus its stocky stance and orangy-yellow bill make this bird easy to identify when it chooses to be out in the open.

 

I did not see the Little Blue Heron during this afternoon visit today.
