Hi all,

  Just wanted to let everyone know, I think I have a wonderful non-birding spouse.  Through all
my birding antics and chases, my husband puts up with- he surprised me with camera a couple of
days ago, to replace the one that got stolen.  So, I'm on the trails again, albeit, cautious.
The Yellow Crowned Night Herons on Parkwood have 3 young in the nest.  They are starting to perch on
branches near the nest.
