Excuse the late report, but as the recent report on the Ocean City Christmas count did not mention Snowy Egret, I thought I'd mention this. On January 1, I and my wife saw a Snowy Egret near West Ocean City pond. Taking the first right turn after the pond, and following the road brought us to another small pond. There we saw the Snowy Egret perched on a tree branch. This is the first time we ever happened on this pond. I wonder if others have visited it, and if anyone has seen the egret since we did.
