Meant to post earlier, but fell asleep on couch. Dave Young tipped me
off earlier today to a Black-crowned Night-Heron he found at the small
pond in Germantown Soccerplex. I was able to stop by around 6 pm and got
great looks at the bird hunting along shoreline of pond. It was
interesting to observe one so active. Also noted were 4-5 Solitary
Sandpipers, 1 Spotted Sandpiper, 1 Least Sandpiper and I was also able
to pick out 1 Bank Swallow among the many Tree, Barn, and Rough-wings
flying over the pond. An FOS Yellow Warbler was heard in the brushy area
near the pond.
