The Egret Invasion
September 20th, 2010
The
Great Egret is
historically very rare in Ottawa. But as of this year there's been a
surprising influx of them into our area. Over thirty have been sighted lately
foraging and roosting at Shirley's Bay.

They mingle freely with the more common Great Blue Herons, the two species
often foraging right next to each other.
