Bernard Forsythe & I went out this AM to find the Cattle Egrets reported by
Jim Wolford. There are three as reported, not all that hard to find, but
possibly very difficult to get close to them. In other words, you may want
a 'scope. The only place that we could see the birds was on "Canning
Aboiteau Road", just E of Canning, right where the Habitant River passes
under the dyke. There's a big, old boat parked there and a circular drive
which is impassable. You look way over to the W, where the obvious carrots
come down over the hill, and look for beef cattle. The Egrets are right
with the cattle, basically among them. We saw all three but there may be
ways for them to disappear due to land & vegetation. BTW, these birds CAN
be seen with the naked eye, as far as finding them is concerned. Also BTW,
don't be confused by all the other carrots. There are shredded cull carrots
over a huge acreage out there. Go where I described & look from there.

Regards,
Rick Whitman
