I did a brief search for the Reddish Egret around 7:30 pm. I could NOT relocate it. Other birders on site stated that it disappeared flying west around 5:30 pm. It seen more or less continuously from dawn until its disappearance. This seems to follow the same pattern of the previous day.
While the bird could anywhere, I would recommend searching the west side of Shoreline Road north from the government docks about 2 km to the Oliphant Fen Boardwalk . Best time would be first thing but before late afternoon as sun light can be brutal. I am currently staying at a cottage a couple of clicks north of Oliphant . Directions from Wiarton continue north on Highway 6. Take first left at top of hill on to Bruce Rd 13. Continue straight on to Oliphant T-intersection turn right north on to Shoreline Rd . Most consistent location has been west side of road just past 165 Shoreline Mark Cranford Toronto, ON _______________________________________________ ONTBIRDS is presented by the Ontario Field Ornithologists (OFO) - the provincial birding organization.
