We arrived at the "sky pond" on Seneca County TR 80 at about 1:45 this
afternoon (Mon) & were 1st attracted by the large number of Great Egrets present.
After counting them (17) we turned out attention to looking for the stilts &
immediately located 2 sitting above the water line at the south end. But
just as we located them, the sky opened up & after just a very few minutes we
were drenched, in spite of our raincoats. So we decided to drive some of the
other roads & just bird from the car. Shortly the rain stopped & we returned
to the stilts. They were now foraging a little closer to the road. We
could see that one had a brown back. Tried to take some digiscoped pictures but
by the time we got the camera out they had moved further away so don't know
yet how well they came out.
