On my way home from work tonight, I decided to pull over and observe the egret roost along Route 107.
When I arrived at 6:13pm, I counted 148 Great Egrets and 1 Snowy Egret in the roost. I stayed until dark and counted the birds as they flew in, bringing the final count to *215* Great Egrets and *13* Snowy Egrets. Interestingly, 11 of the Snowy Egrets circled around before heading south, joined by 4 Great Egrets.
It was an incredible sight. Does anyone know what the record count is for this roost? I would love to know!
