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.
