I think I may have seen a Little Blue Heron or possibly an Egret on the Connecticut just south of the Ledyard Bridge this afternoon at about 2 pm. There were two birds perched on a log, larger than cormorants and definitely with the shape and profile of herons/egrets. The light was such that I could only see the birds in profile but it’s possible they could have been white.

Subject: [UVB] Little Blue Heron in Norwich --- PHOTOS

Yesterday Chris Rimmer of VCE found a Little Blue Heron at Campbell Flats. He reported, “… and an immature egret/heron that was either a Snowy Egret or a Little Blue Heron. I never managed to get my spotting scope on the bird, but based on a 20-25 second view through binoculars as it perched atop a tree, I believe it was a Little Blue.”

By this morning a group of folks much more expert than I had concluded it was indeed a Little Blue Heron.  I have posted some photos at:
