Hi All,
A belated public "Thank You" to Pete and Carolyn Webb for sharing their
nesting Yellow-crowned Night-Herons. I had the opportunity on Sunday,
May 23, during a trip to visit my daughter in Baltimore, to view the
nest and two of the herons. Arriving about 5:50, I easily found the
nest with a bird partially visible inside. About 15 minutes later, the
bird got up, providing excellent looks, and moved to the back of the
nest out of view. A second bird landed in a tree across the street
minutes later, then flew in close and finally onto the nest. It
rearranged some twigs before finally settling on the nest. During the
hour that I observed, I had wonderful looks at a new life bird.
Thanks again to Pete and Carolyn for sharing. I heartily recommend a
visit.
Happy trails ....
