[cobirds] Re: Cattle Egret, South Platte River, Araphoe County

At 7:15 a.m. today, the large group of snowy egrets was in the pond.  I did not have binoculars, but I saw a bird that looked distinctly different than the snowy egrets.  Good potential it's the cattle egret!

Today I found a Cattle Egret with a large group of Snowy Egrets along my South Platte River patch. It was in the pond with all the Egrets. It was still there at 9:30, I could not however post on my phone for some reason.

To get there, park at the Little Golf and Tennis Club, which is on the corner of Federal and Bowels.  5800 S Federal Blvd, Littleton, CO 80123, its the large white dome. Park on the south side, across from Bowels. Follow the trail and walk under the bridge (Bowels underpass) and go south (upstream) about 200 feet (I am not good at judging distance so maybe more.) Its the pond along the dirt trail with the golf course on the other side, there is small grove of trees keeping you from seeing it until you reach the pond. The bird was closet to the trail, with about 34 Snowy Egrets, the most I have seen, and a few Wood Ducks. Hope it's still there.

Good luck,
