We will see you next year, Great Egret! The long-legged waders are on the way out, including the Great Blue Herons that may still be found in some places in our area come winter. More and more we do see Great Egrets and Snowy Egrets attempting to overwinter in warming regions, or at an artificially temperate location like a power plant or a water treatment facility. This cold snap definitely moved a lot of them out, though.
