Nick -
The Snowy Egret is still present along the stream and/or in the pond closes=
t to Water Street, Westport - and so at the extreme northern end of the Big=
 Meadow. This is a place favored by vagrant southern herons. And it is prob=
ably close to the 30th recorded from Brier. Range: from the tropics to sout=
hern Maine. In the late '80s and early '90s, a few summered on Bon Portage =
Island and there was at least one successful nesting.

It will be good to have more pools like that one in the Big Meadow.

All the best,

Eric

Is the snowy egret around South Pond on Brier? A few gull to consider there=
. That landscape should change radically as bird habitat. Thanks so much fo=
r your remembrances and notes on Big Meadow Bog earlier sent. Range of egre=
t usually from Virginia south?
