Went down to the Dodson road between Frenchman Hills and I-90 (Southwest
of Moses Lake) and saw 20 or more GREAT EGRETS. (they kept popping in
and out of the cattails) There were also about 31 AMERICAN WHITE
PELICANS and, one male WOOD DUCK in pre basic molt. Is that the right
term? It appeared to be halfway between alternate and eclipse plumage?
How about--it looked scruffy. :-) Also 3 female and or juv. WOOD DUCKS
and several juv. BLACK-CROWNED NIGHT HERONS.
