One of the more fun things about birding is the "scope fly-through" -- when you 
are scanning or following one bird and an interesting or really great bird just 
happens to fly through the scope view.  Tonight at 7:54, looking over Jug Bay 
from my bucket, I was scanning a flock of swallows to try to pick out something 
besides Barn Swallows, when a flash of white flew through my view.  I followed 
it and quickly found it to be a Snowy Egret accompanied by two Tricolored 
Herons!  One could reasonably assume the same two I saw yesterday.  All three 
circled and landed in the spatterdocks (solidly on the AA Co. side this time).  
They stayed until I left around 8:10.  I wonder if they are roosting there.
