- Comments: "Short-legged, chaotically mannered egret with thick orange bill and burnt orange-washed plumes, back and breast.

Potentially the same individual last observed at Green-Wood on 4/1. Seen foraging along the west edge of Valley Water for ~15 minutes around 5 p.m. Favored the landscaped, brushy SW corner, where it was safe from divebombing Eastern Phoebes. Photos
