Reddish Egret (Egretta rufescens), Below Painted Rock Dam, Maricopa County

This immature Reddish Egret was discovered by Bill Grossi on 5 August 2007 in the lake below the dam at Painted Rock Reservoir.  These extreme digiscopes (taken with the scope at 60X from about 150 m away) were taken by Michael Moore on 08 August 2007

Submitting photos to AZFO does not constitute reporting a rare bird for consideration as an official record. To ensure that a record becomes official, details or photos of Sketch Details Species should be sent to the Editors of North American Birds and a full report of Review Species should be submitted to the Arizona Bird Committee. Most rare birds are under _documented and subsequent observers of a rarity are always encouraged to submit reports and additional photos, especially for birds that are challenging to identify.
