[cobirds] Snowy egrets, Arapahoe county

I have three snowy egrets on my pond this afternoon, the first of the season for me. So beautiful to see them! This is the first day for me to have wood ducks on the pond as well. I have had wood ducks nesting every summer for the past 10 years but I don't know if they're going to find a good place this year because so many of the older trees have been cut down.

I have had a pair of hooded mergansers on the pond now for several weeks and, like in previous years, always hope they find a place to nest here on the ponds.(They never do. 😢) I also have common mergansers and cormorants as well.

So grateful for the arrival of spring!
