This is a place favored by vagrant southern herons. And it is prob= ably close to the 30th recorded from Brier. Range: from the tropics to sout= hern Maine. In the late '80s and early '90s, a few summered on Bon Portage = Island and there was at least one successful nesting. It will be good to have more pools like that one in the Big Meadow.
