The Snowy Egret seen and reported earlier this weekend by Alan Wormington and 
Josh Vandermeulen is still present this evening at the same location, in the 
marsh beside the industrial plant and train tracks. Beautiful look as it preens 
in late day sun. As of 6:30pm, it was sitting on top of the vegetation at far 
side of pond. 

Directions (as per Josh): Take N Shore Drive south from Dunnville and pass 
through the town of Stromness. Take your first right, Rymer Road, and head west.

After turning on Rymer Road continue past the large ponds on the left (not 
visible from road, but seen on Google maps). Pass through the tiny community of 
Port Maitland, at which point the road curves to the left.  After a few hundred 
meters you will cross over train tracks and on the left there is a pond with a 
high fence around it. The SNEG is in this wetland. This pond is about 2.5 km 
from the intersection of Rymer and North Shore Drive.
