Birders, I got a call from Lynne Miller that the adult white-phase Reddish Egret was present at the same location at Adobe Creek Reservoir as recently as 4 p.m. today. Lynne reminds potential visitors to park well back from the edge of the lake. The beach substrate at Adobe Creek Reservoir i

This information is from David Charter, after the Reddish Egret flew west from Lake Cheraw this morning. "There actually is an isolated pond on the west side of the highway 109.  It probably went down in there, but I can't see it from the road.   The pond can be seen a little bit from highway 2

Birders, This morning, I saw the subadult white morph Reddish Egret in a different location on John Martin Reservoir. It was one one of the gravel points on the south side of the reservoir about one mile west of the dam. This is about five miles east of the previous location, and might signal

First thing this morning I was able to relocate the Reddish Egret (White Morph) in the same location described by Duane Nelson yesterday in Bent County. At about noon Duane and I was also able to locate it almost exactly where I last saw it in the morning. Great find Duane!! Other interesting bi

Birders, Cole Wild and I relocated the sub-adult white morph Reddish Egret this afternoon at John Martin Reservoir. It is on mudflats on the current west end of the reservoir. If it is with the huge flock of American White Pelicans, it can be surprisingly hard to locate, especially if it is o
