Observation details
**Rare. Small white egret with yellow bill seen in grass just outside cow pen at farm. I thought for a moment that it was just a plastic bag in the grass. I quickly turned around and as I got back to the scene the bird was flying away. Legs were all black and too short to be Snowy Egret. Was able to fire off a few poor photos before it flew off heading north east toward the villages of Shortsville and Manchester. I drove around the block where I caught up with it in the distance where I lost it again as it flew over the hedge line. This appears to be the first eBird record for Cattle Egret in Ontario County.
