Howard Youth mentioned seeing "suspicious clumpy masses high in the trees up the hill, near some houses" near the Night Heron site on Sligo Creek.  

Well, this morning I discovered a third nest with a pair at it. I don't think it's one of the nests Howard spotted.  It's right over Sligo Creek Parkway midway between the next parking lot up from the tennis courts and Wayne Avenue.  If this nest falls, it will end up right smack in the middle of the Parkway.  

Back at the nests near the tennis court, two pairs were at the two nests, making for a total of six Night Herons in the area this morning.
