Snowy Egret
Snowy Egrets are known to have occurred
at one location in Lake Champlain and only for a brief period
of time during the late 1980's, early 1990's. A single pair,
possibly two was located on Young Island. They nested amongst
the Black-crowned Night Herons in some low shrubs on the east
side of the island. They stopped nesting on the island during
the rapid rise in Double-crested Cormorant numbers in the
1990's.
