Emory Cove Reddish Egret and Common Terns

This afternoon about 3 o’clock the adult Reddish Egret was present on the mud flats at Emory Cove. Also seen were two first year Common Terns standing at the edge of a flock of about 250 Elegant Terns.
Many other shorebirds as well, and a Peregrine Falcon carrying a large shorebird (Willet?) at the Marine Research Area.
