Great Egret: York County Maine, USA, August 2024 — There are still large numbers of Great and Snowy Egrets along our tidal rivers, and in the marshes at either side. Perhaps more now than a week ago. In my (limited) experience it seems we have increasing numbers year to year for the past 3 years. This bird was fairly close to one of my paths through the marsh and posed nicely in the August sun.
