Black-crowned Night-Herons at Colonel Sam Smith Park

[Vince]

There were 4 Black-crowned Night-Herons in a tree overlooking the pond at the east end of Colonel Sam Smith Park yesterday. They were directly across from the observation deck giving great views. Another sign of Spring.

Saw the three Herons in the tree around noon.  Two sleeping and one was awake during the thunderstorm (doing some stretches).  I only went down there since I was in the area on errands...  was pretty rotten at this point.  

I also saw Horned Grebes (finally, first for me) making lots of noise and courting.  Along with Red-necked Grebes, Common Mergansers, Buffleheads, and Long-tails.
