Working in Northwest Ohio for years, I saw a lot of great blue herons and egrets land on the water. Years ago I worked on a project where we worked with commercial fishermen. It was not uncommon to see them drop down on the open lake to grab a fish. We were working the Sandusky Bay area and I saw the silhouette of a bird on the water. It was large with a thick bill. It wasn't until it got up that I saw it was a black-crowned night-heron. I saw them a few other times do it that spring. Needless to say i have not seen it since carrying a camera around. It was really a bizarre sight. John Pogacnik ______________________________________________________________________ Ohio-birds mailing list, a service of the Ohio Ornithological Society.
