I managed to get some good-enough-for-ID photos of the Caesar Creek Cattle Egret today. https://picasaweb.google.com/rdp1710/HighWaterAtCaesarCreek?authkey=Gv1sRgCMPHpozmxei58QE&feat=directlink In the same album are a couple of shots of the Willet that was present on 26 Apr. Willets occur here about every other year. All eBird records for Warren county occur between the middle of April and the middle of May. eBird contains no previous records of Cattle Egret at this location, though the Cincinnati area has eight and there are two from the Englewood Metropark north of Dayton.
