Marshall, 1942
Snowy Egret
Leucophoyx thula
Lake Olenega
July5. Abundant all around edge lake in
flocks, mixed flocks with the herons,
& in small groups in hyacints &
in one or 2's out over open water,
forging by graceful slow flight in
circles low over water picking
things up from surface like a gull.
