I just received word from Mark Shieldcastle that while scouting for tomorrow's Hike The Dikes he spotted a Little Blue Heron on Refuge Unit 8a. The bird was with a group of 33 Snowy Egrets.

Hi all,
I observed the BBWD at pipe creek from about 7 to 8 tonite. It was associating with mallards in the before described spot- take the trail into the wildlife area, then left, right, left and look at the island in the impoundment to the north (towards all the roller coasters). Easy to pick out- it is in almost full "breeding" plumage- bright pink legs and bill.
There are lots of other birds in that impoundment too- of note were:
A red-necked phalarope
Snowy egrets
Black-crowned night-heron (imm)
Semipalmated and least sandpipers
Short-billed dowitchers
Both yellowlegs
Blue and green winged teal
Wood ducks
Semipalmated plovers
Caspian and common terns
And two imm. Mute swans in the next impoundment to the east.
That's all for now- got a long drive home. Good luck to anyone going tomorrow!
