40. Florida cerula Little Blue Heron, “egret,” 
“little white crane,” “white crane.” Straggler from 
the south. An immature female (No. 728, coll. 
F. L. B.) taken Aug. 4, 1901, on Crum creek, Paoli 
barrens; appears to be the first county record ( Wils. 
Bull., 36, 72). During the late summer of 1902, 
there appears to have been a notable influx of this 
species: Red Clay creek, near Kennett Square, one 
was shot from a flock, during the latter part of 
July, and examined by C. J. Pennock; Brandywine 
creek, near Lenape, one was seen on Aug. 3, and 
two afterward shot, according to J. D. Carter; 
Westtown, one seen with a broken leg Aug. 13, 
three seen Aug. 14, and two on Aug. 15, by George 
Forsythe; Cupola, one was shot on the upper 
Brandywine, Aug. 28, and given to C. J. Hunt, and 
W. B. Harvey reported it at West Grove, along the 
White Clay creek. All specimens appear to have 
been in the white phase (Evans, Cass., vi, 18-20). 
An immature female was brought in from Buck 
run, East Fallowfield Twp., in July to be mounted 
(Wilson MS.).
