Hi all,



   We struck out on the pelican reporting at Ft. Mac this morning.  Then onto to see the YCNH's nests at Jones Falls.  Surprised to see third nest, not seen on May Count. 
   First nest had 5 youngs, 2nd nest has 3 and 3rd nest has 3. Looks like there is good food supply along Jones Falls.  Also 2 other nests reported along Wyman Park Dr at John Hopkins above the road and 2-3 nests at Gwynns Falls Park/Leakin Park.  That a quite a few Yellow-crowned Night Herons in the city.
