On Sunday, August 3rd around 3:00 pm, Jane Burgess and I saw a Great Egret
at the High Falls Conservation Area in Casselman Ontario. The Egret was on
the rocky shore of the river, preening, quite a distance from our view which
was below the falls on the opposite shore. Although I neglected to
specifically look for banding, I do not recall any being present and none
can be observed from very distant photos taken at the time.
