I arrived at Grange Insurance Audubon Center at about 7:40 pm. Checked the area from the River Observation Deck. There was one Great Egret down river that soon disappeared south. I walked south stopping to peer through openings in the trees. Not far above the dam I took a short path to the edge of the water. This is very close to the south end of the peninsula. There were two Great Egrets across from me and near the south end of the peninsula. As I scanned the area, another Great Egret and a much smaller white egret flew up river at about 8:00 pm. I could see the short stubby black bill and dark blackish legs of this young Cattle Egret. The upper and lower mandibles of the bill are curved giving the bill a blunt appearance relative to the more spear or dagger shaped bills of Great and Snowy Egrets and Little Blue Heron. Sibley's first edition shows juvenile Cattle Egret with the black stubby bill and black legs. National Geographic Field Guide, 6th Edition indicates the black bill of juvenile starts turning yellow later in the first summer. So does the Sibley Guide. On Monday of this week, I visited Twin Lakes and met the finder and photographer of this bird. He showed me his photos and I was at first doubtful until I looked closely at the bill and then later checked field guides. Cool bird. Probably a first juvenile + Cattle Egret for me.
