Parker's Creek, Calvert Co:
one great blue heron
one immature yellow-cr night-heron
one juvenile sanderling, one spotted sandpiper,
one adult and one first year bald eagle, 3 forster's terns, one royal tern, 
one ring-billed gull, and four wild turkeys

The night-heron was standing with its wings cupped below its belly, as if it 
were collecting sun, but even at 8:30 am, that seemed unnecessary...  As I 
approached, it rearranged its wings into a more usual posture.  Is this a 
common behavior??

It was in the same area this evening also.
