Other birds that I know have been seen by others include: Snowy Egret (seen by Rob Hilton, Lisa Shannon & Mike Milton) at KAG on 4/29 Vesper Sparrow (seen by Greg Gough at Kenilworth Park 2 weeks ago) Wild Turkey (seen by Greg Gough near Oxon Run) Let me know if you'd like further details on any of these sightings.
