I saw 6 Cattle Egrets feeding actively in a field in southeast Rochester this morning (Wednesday) at 8:00 AM. They had been seen originally by Jeff Hanson (he saw 5) late afternoon yesterday.

Location today: Take US Hwy 52 to the Marion Road Exit southeast of Rochester, Turn left (north), take Marion Road to 30th St SE, Turn left (west), go 1/4 mile (or less) and look in the field on the south side of the road (east of the big white farm house with the wishing well).

Yesterday they were seen a little west of here on 36th Ave SE (also known as Pinewood Road), where the road turns north/south.
