Cattle Egret redux -- Denver City Park

[Chris Rurik]

Hi all --

Twenty minutes ago I watched a CATTLE EGRET forage along the edge of the island in Duck Lake (below the giant cormorant colony) in Denver City Park. This is just four days off from when I found one at City Park last year. Unlike last year's this one appears to be in fine health.

If you have not gone to see the spectacle of a mixed nesting colony of Snowy Egrets and Black-crowned Night-Herons, I'd recommend it.

Yesterday I saw my first Western Kingbird of the season at Bluff Lake.
