Dammit! I must have just missed it. I was there between 3 and 4 and couldn’t find it. Where’d you end up seeing it Bev?

Hi David, I walked out from the Kings Ave entrance & down stream. Saw this bird jumping up & down in a channel & on closer inspection saw it was the Egret. Watched as it moved down towards the estuary & then disappeared. Good luck.

Dammit!! I thought about going down that way but thought I could look down far enough that unless it was way up I wouldn’t miss it. Ah well. Hopefully it’ll stick around
