The immature Little Blue Heron was still present at Three Creeks Metro
Park in Columbus on Saturday.  The bird was there when I arrived at
11:10am and was still present when I left at 11:50pm.  At about
11:30am it flew into a tree on the west side of the pond but it was
still visible from the overlook.

From the intersection of Alum Creek Dr and Williams Rd in southeast
Columbus, go east on Williams Rd and park in the Madison Mills parking
lot near the river.  Walk south along the bike path past I-270 and the
pond is on the right.

Thanks to Rob Thorn for excellent coverage of the local patches in
Columbus and for reporting this bird.  Thanks also to the Columbus
Transit Authority for making this chase possible via bike and public
transit.
