I stopped by Harrison Lake on the way home Friday afternoon. I went over to the pond area and walked down to the viewing platform. On the way down, a group of something took off from the backside of the ponds, I could not tell what it was, but they turned and flew my way. I was on the platform at that point and watched as a group of 5 Cattle Egret flew towards me, directly overhead, and then turned and returned to the tall pine trees to the left of the platform. They landed in the top of the trees and stayed there while I walked around the fish ponds. Also there were three different sets of Canadas each with one baby.

Also, there are a couple pics of a spotted sandpiper I got at the lake earlier in the week.
