Snowy Egret R.E. Johnson 1968 Nov. 30 Berkeley Aquatic Park, Alameda Co, Calif. Overcast, occasional rain. Not disturbed by passing waterskiers & boats, but may make use of waves to turn up food. Dec. 1 Berkeley Aquatic Park, Alameda Co, Calif. Overcast & wet ground. Boats not active this morning (about 10-11 AM). At least 8 birds seen, one was standing on end of pier where boats normally dock. Most were in shallow water near shore or on shore. An Amer. Egret that was standing in shallow water aggressively chased 2 others away & repeatedly did so until they left the area, yet it totally ignored a Snowy Egret standing in the center of the action. Calif. & New Gulls were disturbed by the activities & tried to stay out of the way but the Snowy Egret appeared to ignore everything.
