Following the report of a Cattle Egret by Doug Kieser I traveled last 
evening (7 PM: 7/18/15) to the Fairfax WTP.  After searching the many 
lagoons I was about to give up when I saw it flying at the far southern end 
of the main lagoon.  It hawked insects for awhile then headed south out of 
sight.  

Further south on Hwy 4 just north off the MN river bridge into Brown Cty. I 
scoped the wetland on the east side of the road.  I nice diversity of 
shorebirds including three Short-billed Dowitchers, both yellowlegs, two 
Wilson's Phalaropes, and assorted others.  Extensive mudflats that should 
yield good viewing with a scope for awhile.
