Hi All  last eveing   between the storms  I  Went to  Kent Island  to run
an errand  so on the way home I stopped at Kent Narrows Wells  Cove Rd to
See if I could Get a better look at the Tern  Chicks  to get a Good count .
  The adults  helped out by leaving  the chicks . two times while I was
there .  I  could only  See 2  there.   Lighing was bad  A hard rain shower
came in  but stopped  in a few minutes . Several  Other  Adult Common  Terns
  Stopped  on the Cement Block Jetty  for a brief  visit to the  nesting
group.   By This time  It was getting   close to  dark    I  first heard
call   than saw  2   smallish dumpy herons fly overhead  than land  on the
cement block Jetty   on the north end near the  bridges .   I set up the
spotting scope on them  they turned out to be  2 immature  Black -  Crowned
   Night -  Herons I  watched them till they   went to the hidden side of
the Jetty on a small ledge there .   I   started up my Truck  and as  I did
another   Black -  Crowned Night - Heron    landed on the near  shoreline
next to the abandoned   seafood packing plant .   In the very  little  Light
left  aided  by the nite  lighting in the area  It was plain to see the
adult  Black  Crown hunting  Supper.  These 3  Birds  were my first For Qeen
Annes Co  Black -   Crowned Night  - Herons.This area  while not  a
wilderness experince  and largely developed lots Of  boat traffic on nice
days Can and does produce Some  great Birds from  time to time.  Last  nite
I had the boat landing to myself except for the  Bar  pattrons on the far
side.   As a  Tunder Storm  was   fast coming in   I  left  went home.   In
the space  of 11 days  I got 2 new County birds.  Wow.          Happy
Birding         Danny Poet       Queenstown  Md
