Index of Subjects Joan, I think it is quite possible that this is the same bird that summered in NS last year. It doesn't seem possible that the first North American record from Nantucket would still be alive, so this may be the second bird to make it across the Atlantic. This bird may indeed summer in Brooklyn. It seems late for northward migration back to the maritimes, and early for southward migration. I don't think northward dispersal even comes into play with this bird. It was feeding with a Snowy Egret yesterday, and I wonder if they might be paired. There is some literature alluding to Little Egret and Western Reef Heron being conspecific, and I believe there is a record of Snowy/Little Egret hybrids. Could be interesting if someone is able to prove they are a pair. Cliff Miles Mountain Lakes, NJ clifford.a.miles@usda.gov
