Greetings, At 10 AM, while escaping the masses looking for the Hoary (for bloodwork), we drove by the pond next to Herr Road & spotted a great egret standing by one of the ponds next to 95. It was a life bird for my wife, whose list is a bit shorter than mine. She also knocked ring-necked ducks off her list. However, we did not see the Ross's goose. See you out there!
