Well, as long as we're heaping credit, thanks to Dan and Sandy for pointing
us to the cattle egrets.  And I can't take any credit for finding little
blue heron adult--my eagle-eyed son is the one who found the herons after a
quick scan with the scope.  I was busy poking a stick at a smashed snake on
the road.  Anyway, we got a nice look, and a great look at them flying with
Dan and Sandy.  Thanks again for your help making this a great birding day
for us!
