ets in the country. The Little Egret is an ABA Code 4 and comes from the Old World. It is very similar to our Snowy Egret. Some of the similar characteristics are the yellow slippers, and all white body. One thing I have recently learned about this bird, is its range has started to expand. Scientist believe that this bird will start to become more common in North America due to the expansion of its range in Europe. Currently the Bird migrates from Europe to Africa and India in the winter. Now when you are out in the marshes looking through Snowy Egrets, keep your eye out for this guy, you never know when you could find your own first ABA - 4 record!

Little Egret
There is currently a Little Egret traveling up and down the eastern seaboard. It was first seen in Delaware back in May, then was relocated up in Maine at the end of June, and now has been found in Massachusetts. Is this the same individual or do we have three Little Egrets in the country. The Little Egret is an ABA Code 4 and comes from the Old World. It is very similar to our Snowy Egret. Some of the similar characteristics are the yellow slippers, and all white body. One thing I have recently learned about this bird, is its range has started to expand.
