The chances are very good you have more than one Great Egret in your area. M=
ore and more seem to be appearing all over the province. Definitely many are=
 blow-ins but you have to wonder if the sheer numbers suggest we are witness=
ing range expansion as well (speculation by me alone)? Keep us posted please=
