I birded a few places in Carpinteria this morning including the Carpinteria Creek Estuary. The Reddish Egret reported by Dave Compton et al. was foraging in the estuary when I arrived. It gradually walked toward the SW corner of the Estuary and was hidden by a bush on the bank, which I walked around for a better view. And the Egret was gone! I didn't see it fly out but it must have done so, no idea in which direction it went. I waited around for a while but it didn't return.
