A definite Snowy Egret at Kountze Lake (Bel Mar) this evening-- full yellow feet, shaggy crest, yellow lores, hunkered-forward foraging position.
Also in the NE corner of the lake, three breeding plumage Am. Avocets, and one Solitary Sandpiper foraging the shoreline near the footbridge.
Bob Shade mentions earlier that the Snowy he saw joined a second small white heron-- I circumnavigated the lake and checked both small ponds adjoining, but never saw another white heron (2 black-crowned night herons and one 1st yr Great Blue). So one wonders about that second bird, though one assumes another Snowy.
