I got a call from my neighbor, Seldon Clevinger, on Saturday evening at around 5 P.M. He reported 6 large white birds were perched in a tree overlooking his pond. I grabbed my binoculars and rushed to his place to discover 6 Great Egrets in a large tree beside his pond! While we were enjoying them a Great Blue Heron flew up from the pond and forced the topmost Egret off his perch and promptly took his place. The Great Blue was still resting there when I left for home about 30 minutes later. I went back to see if the Egrets were still there the next morning & could not locate them. Dave Raines Breaks,VA
