Reddish Egret; Batiquitos W. Basin 7JUL18

All,

I observed an immature REDDISH EGRET this morning at the Western Basin of Batiquitos Lagoon (west of the 5). It was foraging around the sand bar east of railroad bridge. One or two individuals were seen last year at the general Lagoon location (February and September). This species is seen less frequently in North county. Photo is included in the following ebird report.
