PI Bird Alert – Egrets

Great Egret, Graveyard Pond

Dateline: 9 April 2022.

Great Egrets are common enough at Presque Isle State Park to not usually warrant a BirdingPI.com Bird Alert(TM). Today (Saturday), however, it wasn’t just one or two Egrets. But lots of Great Egrets. One sighted on Long Pond, another on Marina Lake, and thirteen+ (!) at one time on Graveyard Pond, i.e., the Lagoon, mostly by the canoe/boat rental place. And with the generally bad weather, not a birder in sight.
