This morning at about 7:30 am, I was driving south on Harford, just a little 
north of Lake Montebello here in Baltimore, and I saw a gorgeous pair of 
what I'm fairly sure were Great Egrets overhead. I've seen Great Blue Herons 
overhead in that area from time to time at twilight- but never Great Egrets. 
It is possible I am mistaken about the identity - they could have been Snowy 
Egrets (unlikely I think) or Great Whites (virtually impossible I think), 
but I'm 98% sure the bills were yellow and the legs and feet were black. It 
was a stunning beginning to a day of endless meetings.
Peace,
Eleanor
