Snowy Egert in Lebanon County Pa


After being reported few a few days, on August 9, 2019 I decided to try and see the Snowy Egret that was being reported at the Quittapahilla  Educational  Wetland Preserve  in nearby Lebanon, Pa.

As I arrived in the parking area, there was no one else present...not a good sign...was the bird gone.

I walked the trail to the viewing platform and started scanning the area. After a short time, I spotted the Snowy Egret. Below are some rather poor quality pictures that I took with my iPhone thru the scope. The are definitive in that you can see the Snowy Egrets yellow feet on them

This was the first sighting of a Snowy Egret in Lebanon County in several years and the first Lebanon County sighting for me.

Snowy Egret - notice the yellow feet
