I don't normally bird downtown Claremont, and I didn't today. However, when I stopped on the bridge over the Sugar River for a brief rest while riding my bike, there fishing on the rocks below the old factory buildings was a Great Egret. I put several photos at http://www.jimblockphoto.com/blog/ However, you might need binoculars or a magnifying glass to find the egret in the photos. Why? The explanation is attached to the photos.
