Both Snowy Egrets were foraging together (quite actively, may I add) at Purgatory Creek this morning, July 5th, at 8am. (Eden Prairie, Hennepin Co.) They stuck to the west edge of the large mudflat. A scope is a necessity, although from the distance I could make them out due to their tiny size. And remember, if you're going in the morning, view from the bridge on the east side; if you're going in the evening, view from the observation deck (aka "blind") on the west side. Good birding!
