[EBB Sightings] One Egret Dancing...

At Lake Merritt this afternoon, I saw one Snowy Egret in the thornless 
blackberries on the island, where egrets nested in such numbers up to a 
couple of years ago. Mostly grooming and looking around, but I did see 
those wonderful feathers come up! Another egret was on the ground on the 
next island, walking under the cormorants' trees....

The floats have been moved back into summer position, and the last few 
scaup and Clarks/Western Grebes were meatloafing around with one Ruddy 
Duck and one coot. And on the floats at least a dozen Forster's Terns 
were perching.
