Stratford, CT Cattle Egret, breeding plumage

Stratford, CT, photographed in shallow center field on Deluca Field after having been seen in the adjacent marsh behind the city pound by Stefan Martin and Frank Mantlik. Cattle Egrets are found in CT, but it's still a rare sighting in CT, only a few each year, even though the species has spread around the world,  This one is in full breeding plumage.
