Good find, Richard. Had not heard of the Y/H Blackbird however. Where was
it??<br>

<blockquote type=cite class=cite cite="">About an hour ago I looked out
the kitchen window at home, and there was an odd looking shape perched in
the top of a poplar tree. I had my scope handy, and it was a Green Heron!
I was able to digiscope it and get 3 shots before it flew to the west - I
have posted them for now in the NS-RBA Herons album, on page 2. (I'll
post them on my Pbase album in due course).&nbsp; I have never seen a
Green Heron in the top of a tree before, even where they are more common.
(It's the same tree that has hosted all 3 N.American accipiters in the
last 2 years). There are several small reed-fringed ponds in the
vicinity.<br><br>
BTW I tried looking for the Yellow-headed Blackbird reported yesterday
just north of here, but so far no luck. (Better to stay at home and wait
for the rare birds to come to you!).<br><br>
