a finely plumaged snowy egret was found at veterans park in mentor late this morning (05/06/2008).  we left the bird a reedy area along the lake shore just off the walking path about 150 yards past the purple martin house and beginning of the wooden boardwalk.  snowy egret is a very rarely occurring species and not annual in the cleveland region.
