--90e6ba6e85660d056704a5252462 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Bernard Forsythe & I were thrilled to find the Yellow-crowned Night-Heron present for the third day at Rocky Run, at the intersection of Hwy 207 & Lower Three Fathom Harbour road. When we arrived at the bridge on Rte 207 we could not spot it. We went down to the footbridge at the S end & I finally found it on the West side, about 1/3 down from the hwy bridge. The tide was high & I should point out we searched with our binocs for 10-15 minutes before I found it. We then drove back up to Hwy 207 & stayed on the E side of the bridge. It continued to walk the shore N until it was perhaps only 1/5 down from the bridge. Unfortunately, at that point a truck backed into the little driveway on the W side of the bridge, to throw bread to crows (!). The Heron spooked & flew a little S & then straight up into the "forest". We were observing the Heron about 11:30-12:00, in total. We did see the Heron catch & eat at least one crab. Thanks to Paul Murray for finding it & to Hans Toom for reporting it still present Monday. http://rickwhitman.smugmug.com/Nature/Birds-June-2011/17339139_s8DKjh#1326594248_Pk9WjF9 -- Rick Whitman --90e6ba6e85660d056704a5252462 Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Bernard Forsythe & I were thrilled to find the=A0Yellow-crowned Night-H= eron present for the third day at Rocky Run, at the intersection of Hwy 207= & Lower Three Fathom Harbour road.
