Cattle Egrets, Lake Arbor, Jefferson

[Amy C]

Hi Birders,

I remember a few years ago there was interest in Cattle Egrets at Lake Arbor in Jefferson County.  They’re back!

There are 4 egrets in the grass on the north side of the lake, just east of Lamar Drive, chasing grasshoppers. 

The majesty of their breeding plumage is only slightly marred by their goofy behavior as they bob and weave, trying to catch a meal.
