It's breeding season for -Snowy- Great Egrets.
Next time you're on the west side of 1201 Charleston look up to the trees and you'll notice a dozen -Snowy- Great Egret nests. Maybe you'll even catch them flying from tree-to-tree carrying newly found twigs. They really get going on the weekends when they have the campus to themselves.
