There have been occasional reports over the last few weeks of a Great Egret once again spending time at Miramichi Marsh. David Shannon has made at least three postings of evening sightings in the last 2 or so weeks. As a frequent visitor to the marsh I have been frustrated as it hasn’t wanted to meet up with me, until this morning. I would like to say we met over fresh frogs leg’s, but I declined! This bird seems to be an annual visitor to the Miramichi area and to other parts of NB. Donna reported a sighting at Beaubears Island earlier in the summer but it didn’t seem to hang around. Always a delight to see (and hard to miss!) Photos attached.
