I got lucky with the great egret this time around. Upon arrival at the mar=
sh area at Conrad's Island, Rose Bay I observed a duck hunter on the island=
. Perfectly legal. I looked to my left and below the main road just befor=
e where the new house is to be built on the saltmarsh, was the egret. It l=
ooked very miserable. Shortly after a hunter shot at some ducks, very clos=
e to the egret. Not legal distance from residences by my reconing and one =
of those hunters who gives others a bad name. He especially was not legal=
distance from where the new house is being built and where workers were. =
He also was shooting into the air in the direction of the houses. This was=
on the inside of the beach area and across towards the road on the other s=
ide, which is not far across from that point. Anyhow, I believe that some =
shorebirds were also shot at which flew when teal flew in. Needlessly to s=
ay the egret disappeared and I have no idea where it went to. =20
=20
Of note shorebirds present which I managed to see before the shooting began=
were five black-bellied plovers, two greater yellowlegs, a lesser yellowle=
gs and a willet. There might have been a second willet, but this bird veer=
ed off before I could get an id on it.
