Merrickville - An invasion of Cattle Egrets has brought well over 100 into southern Quebec and Ontario. One Quebec location briefly had over 50 birds. This is my second sighting in October with this bird being far more photogenic than the previously shown individual. As is usually the case, the egret was hanging around farm animals, on this occasion a pair of horses, and wandered as close as 10 metres from me at times.

Great to see, and hear the story behind!
I spent a few hours watching with others and it was interesting to observe its behaviour. We got lucky because that was the last day it was seen.
