I did a brief search for the Reddish Egret around 7:30 pm. I could NOT
relocate it. Other birders on site stated that it disappeared flying west
around 5:30 pm. It seen more or less continuously from dawn until its
disappearance. This seems to follow the same pattern of the previous day.

While the bird could anywhere, I would recommend searching the west side of
Shoreline Road north from the government docks about 2 km to the Oliphant
Fen Boardwalk .  Best time would be first thing but before late afternoon
as sun light can be brutal.

I am currently staying at a cottage a couple of clicks north of Oliphant .

Directions from Wiarton continue north on Highway 6. Take first left at top
of hill on to Bruce Rd 13. Continue straight on to Oliphant T-intersection
turn right north on to Shoreline Rd . Most consistent location has been
west side of road just past 165 Shoreline

Bird is present this morning at 339 Shorelinr Ave but has moved several times up and down the road.  Look for erratic feeding behavior as many Great Egrets are around as well.

See directions below.

Cheers,
