I stopped by the creek at noon to check on the status of the continuing Neotropic Cormorant. Yes, it was there, again perched on the snag in the sycamore as I had hoped. Even showed a defensive display involving a Great Egret who had hoped to occupy the same snag.
I had a little time to spare and decided to take a closer look at the many heron and egrets of various ages were moving around on shore, in the algae dusted water and tucked into the bushes. Black-crowned Night Herons of 3 ages, juvenile, second year and adult , Great Egrets and Great Blue Herons were all easily seen and photographed. Most obvious were the GREG's and most spectacular was one still showing it's long breeding plumes. Just suggesting that if you want a chance to check out/review the various heron and egrets this is currently a good time and location.
