style=3D'border:none;bord --94eb2c0b916cc67b6e0568bd87f0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Just to add to Wayne's comments about carriage of these herons by major air movements, if you check eBird today, March 31, the most northerly Little Blue Heron in the eastern US is in Connecticut, seen yesterday. The second most northerly is in New Jersey, also seen yesterday. (These would be "approved" reports.) The most northerly Tricolored Herons in the eastern US are also in New Jersey, about seven birds seen Mar 29-31. Both species will eventually reach sw Maine or n Mass. as the limits of their breeding range, so these birds in the US are still heading N under normal migration patterns. The transfer that occurred a week or so ago was pretty much similar to what happens during hurricanes. Regards, Rick Whitman On 28 March 2018 at 14:01, Wayne P.
