I have seen it several times before, but not before signing up to these forums. Peterson doesn't even list the Great Egret in Ohio, and the Ohio Department of Natural Resources marks the Great Egret as very unusual, with only a couple of known nesting sites a good fifty or sixty miles away.
There's one living nearby, though. He/she's been there since spring, in an unimproved pond and wetlands in a nearby park. I had a great look at him, and he at me, for a good ten minutes or so today.
I don't think this is a breeding site, though. I've not seen more than one of these birds at a time.
