Sharp-eyed naturalist Debra Shankland first spotted a flock of CATTLE
EGRETS at the Southerly Waste water Treatment Plant in Cuyahoga Heights
OH on a bus field trip at 4PM this afternoon. I returned shortly after
to photograph a flock of 28 cattle egrets, located where Canal Road
turns into East 49th Street (Ohio and Erie Canal Reservation, Cleveland
Metroparks). The egrets were on the property of the SWWTP (Northeast
Ohio Regional Sewer District) apparently picking insects in a grassy
field inside the fence, which was being mowed this morning. Photos will
be posted on the Cleveland Metroparks Facebook page later this evening.
