The immature black-crowned night heron that was reported yesterday evening
was seen this morning (Wed. 8:30-9:30 a.m.) from the first parking area
that  looks out over the lake.  It was found at the north end on the  arm of
land that extends out to the opening of water that connects the  north and
south ends of the lake.  It was sitting on a dead branch about 50  ft. east
from the end of the land and about 20 ft. above the water.  Later,  it was
walking along the shoreline in that same location--probably looking for
breakfast.

At the north end of the lake (where you used to feed the ducks), there are
still shorebirds available--pectorals, lesser yellowlegs, killdeer; but by
that time we were wilting and decided to close up for some
air-conditioning!

Good birding,
