snowey egrets gathering...

[Mark Partington]

I hope I dont have my birds mixed up--cause quite a few looked like HUGE albino herons--but the rain brought cluster of egrets to the standing water areas around the pt washinton canals; & open feilds--dont forget your cameras folks.
Does anyone know if these guys are passing thru??
Ive never seen so many in flocks--they seem more solo ; alot like the herons.

I saw them on 393 yesterday while I was driving around taking pics of the flooding from rain. I couldn't get close enough to the egrets to make for a good picture. They sure are pretty.

I've been seeing them too. There have been groups huddled on the banks of some Coastal Dune Lakes that look to be large birds. I also have been seeing a mini replica of them huddled in Cypress Trees

I saw this flock yesterday near Alligator Lake. I've been anticipating seeing them again; I saw them last year on the northside of 30A near Grayton Beach it is an awesome sight to see.

My thank you button seems to be missing.........so, thanks!
I saw two flocks Saturday, without my camera, so yesterday I took the camera and rode around and saw none.
