Jett" Subject: Yellow-crowned Night-Heron in Charles County Comments: cc: Jlstasz@aol.com, Marshall , voice , SMAS MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Folks While driving to a wedding rehearsal on Friday, June 22 about 7 PM, Gwen and I observed an adult Yellow-crowned Night-Heron feeding along the Mattawoman Creek area just south of the Prince George's County line in Charles County. This wetland is located along Berry Road (Rt. 228). The bird was located opposite the brick "Welcome to Charles County" marker. I will be watching this location since this is in the safe dates for nesting for this animal. There are no know nesting records for YCNH in Charles that I am aware of. Good birding.
