Little Egret, Tidewater Farm, Falmouth, 6/10

Hi all,
A client visiting from Calgary and I have enjoyed the continuing LITTLE EGRET in close proximity to Tidewater Farm in Falmouth between 11:30 and now.

The Little Egret put on a great show, in close company with a Snowy Egret, at Tidewater Farm between 1:30 and 2:00 today (Sunday June 12). The birds first appeared on the mud flats out where Skitterygusset Creek meets the Presumpscot. Then they worked their way north on the incoming tide until the were at my feet at the Tidewater point. Finally they flew south a ways and were still there when I left. 

They were fully out on the flats the whole time, catching fish continually. I could not see any difference in posture or feeding behavior, so I could not tell the difference initially. But as they got closer, the plume differences on both head and butt became evident, as well as the dark lores on the Little Egret.

Tidewater Farm is the old house and farm at the end of a dirt drive off Farmgate Road. Walk out grass between the buildings and a grassy path to a bench.
