There was one GREAT EGRET lingering within Patapsco Pond #10.

I thought I saw it last week on my way up to Baltimore City on 295
(Friday). Again today I thought I saw one from the highway.  Of
course, at 55 mph, it's hard to confirm if it's an Egret or a plastic
bit of debris. So I stopped off at the pond to investigate.  The large
white wading object was in fact an egret.

Also enjoying the pond:  a few dozen Northern Shovelers, many Hooded
Mergs, three Gadwall and a handful of Mallard.  Patrolling the skies:
one Red-shoulder and one Red-tailed Hawk.

No Iceland or Glaucous Gulls observed on the pond during my ten minute visit.

Good Birding,
