Heron/Egret

Yesterday I heard the dogs barking, so I ignored them. A couple of
seconds later, my brother tells me to hurry up and come down to the living
room. I get there in time to see a big shadow and flapping wings of a
heron/egret. Later my dad saw him/her sitting on the roof of the neighbors
house.
I live in Southeastern Pennsylvania, so wouldn't it be a little cold for
this bird? The last week has been warm (45-60 degrees) but I can't imagine
it getting enough food. It's apparently been around for a couple of weeks.
I'm actually excited, it's the first time this has happened. I'll try
to get some pictures.

I live a little north of you in the ABE area. There is an egret or two
or three living less than a half mile from me.
They have over wintered here for the last five years, that I have lived
in this neighborhood.
I am hoping that they manage to avoid the new pond when it is completed
in the spring.
