Just off the phone with Brad Sparks. He and others relocated the black-necked stilt, still visible from the nature center at Hueston Wood SP, as it flew in a few minutes ago. While they were there they noticed a tricolored heron from the same vantage point. The heron was in a small cove on the far side of a mud bar, not far from several wood-duck boxes. Surely some avenue to southern climes has opened at last!
