Unfortunately, she also told me that the bird had left soon after. I headed over there as soon as I could and searched there and other area ponds but couldn't refind it. It was another good bird that got away.
There was nothing else of note at the Regency ponds, but I found a White-crowned Sparrow in the vegetation at the dead end part of Steuben Road.
I drove up to the Silver Crest Road pond to look for the egret and also see if the Greater White-fronted Goose that I found yesterday was there. I didn't find either one, but a Ruddy Duck and a Great Blue Heron were there among around 500 Canada Geese, plus 13 American Pipits.
The Trio Farms Boulevard ponds was the next place I checked for the egret but only found a Pied-billed Grebe hiding in the vegetation in the front pond.
The Newburg Road pond held 16 Killdeer and a Great Blue Heron while 2 Savannah Sparrows and a Palm Warbler were in the brushy patch across the street.
The Lesser Yellowlegs continued at the Farmersville Road pond by Green Pond along with 8 Killdeer and were joined by three newly-arrived Pectoral Sandpipers.
The nice surprises came along the paved path where I found 2 Red-breasted Nuthatches and 2 Pine Warblers among 4 Eastern Bluebirds, 5 Dark-eyed Juncos, plus 6 White-throated, 6 Song, and 3 Chipping Sparrows.
My last walk was at the St. Luke's Anderson Campus pond and trails where I saw at least 85 Mourning Doves, a Northern Mockingbird, 2 Red-winged Blackbirds, 2 Dark-eyed Juncos, and sparrows comprised of 21 Song, 10 White-throated, 2 Field, a Chipping, and a Savannah Sparrow.
