Reports of a Western Reef Heron in New Castle, New Hampshire drew me to check out the bird. Although I got good looks through my scope the lighting and distances was not great for photography. On my way home I decided to stop at Plum Island to checkout the Snowy Egrets on the Parker River Wildlife Management Refuge and the Buff-breasted Sandpipers at Sandy Point. Views of the Buff-breasted were OK but ultimately left me wanting another chance.
