In the fading light today, I found a Cattle Egret in the creek standing in a shallow spot in the midst of about 20-30 Canada Geese et al. It was just west of the pedestrian bridge which is well east of the auto bridge over the creek. After going over the auto bridge take your (immediate) first right and go to the second parking lot and park in the near corner, close as you can to the creek. The pedetrian bridge is kitty-corner across the road. A better view is gotten by NOT crossing ther bridge and following the creek about 50 yards back towards the auto bridge.
NO Pink-footed Goose. A younger couple with Missouri plates had been looking and did not find the goose either. They said there were kids all over the high school fields and no geese. Got the Queens county Ash-throated Flycatcther about 3pm after enduring a 5 minute wait. It was thanks to Avi and Barbara that pointed out where they had seen it a few minutes before (near the train station, just over the fence). Once we saw it, it then fly caught all over and eventually providing us with great views. It had the elevated crown and white belly. It eventually flew off towards the "pink" building.
