When Barry and I were doing the last breeding bird atlas, the Wheaton stormwater ponds (off Dennis Ave.) were in one of our blocks. We had Black-crowned Night Herons there regularly during the summer. Adults and juveniles, although to my knowledge they do not breed anywhere in the area. Interestingly, despite their breeding on Sligo Creek, we rarely saw Yellow-crowns there.

Totally unexpected for me, too, Rob! Last saw one in Sligo more than 10 years ago, I think.
