There are currently two Snowy Egrets in Overton, Yarmouth County that have been present for a few weeks. We are keeping track of them and hoping for them to breed here. Wouldn't that ben exciting!Alixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02011274693316984392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1800307166890371952.post-72462624853068963982015-05-27T08:33:30.300-03:002015-05-27T08:33:30.300-03:00Yes, it is quite interesting how they've cross...Yes, it is quite interesting how they've crossed the Atlantic and are breeding now.Alixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02011274693316984392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1800307166890371952.post-78095800604109231062015-05-27T08:32:43.441-03:002015-05-27T08:32:43.441-03:00Thank you very much.

I was delighted to read in your info that one has already been reported in Blanche. <br />Carl Townsend, at the Fisherman’s Market Lobster holding facility, described to me, what could not be anything other than a Snowy about seven weeks ago. He was about 20 feet from it. Carl is the manager, and my Father, Fred Greene, is the owner of the property. (I travel with him quite often when he goes to check on the progress of the construction.) <br />While he does his visit, I document the stages, and take time to check out the area for birds and other wildlife. Tuesday the 19th I saw what had to be the Snowy, but it was at a great distance.<br />Both Carl and Vera (she is in the office) seem to be interested in the birds. They always fill me in on the Blue Heron and the Eagle that lives in the area. I discovered a pair of Kingfishers last season but haven’t seen them yet this year. I will share the Snowy news with them and feel quite confidant that they will let me know if there is anything exciting to report with regard to seeing a pair, or anything else different. <br />Thanks again for blogging about the Blanche Snowy….

I didn't know they were getting established in the Caribbean.
