[Birdnet] Great Egret at Farmington Bay

[Kristin Purdy]

Paul Higgins just called (11:00 am, Monday) with a report of a GREAT EGRET 
at Farmington Bay WMA in Davis County. The bird is just west of the parking 
lot at the end of the west dike where Steve and Cindy Sommerfeld found the 
Western Gull last March. The egret was enjoying fishing success with Great 
Blue Herons and Paul got some great images, which he'll post in a couple 
days when his computer is functional again.

The Great Egret is classified as a rare transient and rare summer resident 
in Utah; our state checklist doesn't yet address winter sightings, which 
appear to be on the rise.

Enjoy Jack Binch's fabulous photo, too. The egret was at the spot in the 
photo where the four roads come together near the center of the image.
