A breeding-plumaged Cattle Egret fed along the Ocean Parkway at Oak Beach, Suffolk, LI, around noon today.
NB: This is a busy highway where law enforcement is intolerant of people parking, walking, or even pulling over. We witnessed several uncomfortable episodes last spring when people couldn't resist attempting close, well-lit photography of an obliging Upland Sandpiper in this area; such incidents certainly don't make life any easier for the local birders who work this area regularly and share what they find.
