Pat & Nancy McCue live on the south shore of the St. Lawrance R. on
Cartwright Point.
Yesterday they saw a smallish white heron in bright sunlight.they called
Faith Avis a Kingston birder,
Faith and other cleary saw the light green legs at a short range, about 4 to
5 m.
and the greenish upper part of the bill & its black tip. They checked
Faith's "Siblley Guide"
Light conditions were clear in bright sun and the verdict was LITTLE BLUE
HERON (LBHE).
I arrived later. Light conditions were still excellent. The LBHE was still
at a distance of about 4 m.
I am sure that Faith Avis & I & others have seen the 1st LBHE sighting for
Cartwright Point.
This morning Nancy McCue told me that the LBHE was not seen after I left
yesterday.
