Media notes
Mic is at SE corner of pond pointed to the west end. The area has about 75 Great Egrets, about 18-20 Great Blue Herons, and 5-6 Little Blue Herons. A few of the Great Egrets started to act aggressively towards each other, including some jumping out of the water with feet extended towards the co-antagonist. The more exciting calling can be heard.
Observation details
Large flock with some GBHE, LBHE, and SNEG intermingled. They were in a large pond along the north side of the gravel road that runs east-west entering into the conservation area. The long dimension of the pond also runs east-west but the east end of the pond expands towards the north, creating a curved L-shape overall. The length of the pond is more than 1/3 but less than 1/2 of the length of the east-west road, extending from near the first parking area east to the first north-south tree line. A video of the flock can be viewed here: https://flic.kr/p/MkNmRb
