As a follow-up to Paul O'Toole's email from earlier this week, we spotted one Great Egret and one Green Heron in a marsh off Taylor-Kidd Blvd yesterday. Both were quite a distance from the road, but visible with the naked eye. Photo of each can be seen at: http://www.physics.queensu.ca/~ph/A%20Birds/Great%20Egret%20Amherstview%20July%209%202009%20-1.jpg
