One final bird from the round-up weekend, I had a single Cattle Egret along Basket Switch Road on Sunday (11/13) pm. In pasture with two horses.  Field is on north side of road, several miles east of Rt 113.  Only one of its kind along this road.  Photos.  Eight prior records for November. We have had it only once on the six roundups.

Worcester month bird for me, and I got an amazing 5 this weekend (Am. White Pelican, Cattle Egret, Willet, Marbled Godwit, Stilt Sandpiper).  Brings November Worcester list to 195.

Also Stilt Sandpiper at Berlin Sewage Ponds was record late date for Worcester, one prior November record, 11/07/1963, 1, West OC (Dyke, MB 20:23), "3 weeks later than previous record".
