Yes, with limitations. As long as you stay outside the fence, you are not trespassing. My advice is to work the fence line and stay between the fence and the corn field. By the time you get to the telephone poles, you should be able to see most of the pond. The egret is moving quickly along the shore bank with periodic short flights. Patience is key... And maybe a raincoat. :-D Happy Birding and God Bless!
