Sorry for the late post, as the Quincy Library's computers wouldn't allow me to get to my e-mails. It has something to do with yahoo and its stricter policies? I birded here from 10:30-2:30.
Little Blue Heron 1 when I arrived, the bird was in the 2nd panne, basically being a loner. Almost all the Snowy Egrets in the same pan were in a bunch. After one-half hour, the Little Blue Heron flew to the 1st panne. I walked quickly over to that panne, and got the bird with killer looks. Pat was able to get many close photos.
