WOW. Didn't have a Snowy Egret on my target list of possible yard birds. But after work this morning while I was scanning the yard through a slight mist, I noticed a white egret flying out over Lake Michigan. I initially thought the distant bird was a Great Egret but photos revealed the yellow feet that indicated that it was a Snowy Egret. According to Dave Dister it was only the third Snowy Egret ever recorded in Mason County.
Also added to the yard list today were...
 |
| Northern Parula Warbler (#122) |
 |
| Spotted Sandpiper (#123) |
 |
| Black-throated Green Warbler (#124) |
New bird not photographed was a Great-crested Flycatcher. Yard list is now at 125.
Other birds of interest were yesterday's new bird American Pelican which were represented with a group of six which passed by on the inland side of the house.
...and a Magnolia Warbler
