Andrew Haydon Park, little egret: Egretta garzetta
This rare bird for Ottawa doesn't stay to feed in one area very long and often changes feeding locations at least daily in the greater western Ottawa area.

on September 15, 2015What a great bird for Ottawa! I saw my first one in Montreal a few years back, only to leave for Korea where they are "junk birds." It's interesting that these are becoming more regular vagrants to North America.
