Continuing Cattle Egret, Chatfield SP (Jeff Co).

[Scott Somershoe]

Early this morning I swung through Chatfield SP with the kiddo to see the flooding on "her beach" and relocated the Cattle Egret that was reported to eBird yesterday (I don't think it was posted here).  Anyway, the bird was feeding on the side of the road by the flooded fields west of Kingfisher Bridge (Jefferson Co.).  Lots of worms in the road and the blackbirds and starlings were having a worm buffet for breakfast.  

Plenty of other birds singing this morning, but I couldn't hear much over the chatter from the back seat (and the yellow warblers, a couple least flycatchers, and the ubiquitous House Wrens).  

The water is supposed to rise a couple more feet (according to the SP web site), which would flood over the road west of kingfisher bridge where the Cattle Egret was hanging out.  It wouldn't take much to flood over the road now!

Good birding,
