Inspired by Bill Hubick to tick the Green Heron in both January and February, I went out and relocated the bird in the same stormwater pond. I brought a better lens today and got a much better set of pix:

If anyone would want to see this bird, here's how to get to SERC. Take 214 east then turn right (south) onto Muddy Creek Road. After a mile or so, turn left onto Contees Wharf Road. There's a brown sign for the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center at the intersection of Muddy Creek Road, South River Clubhouse Road and Contees Wharf Road. Follow Contees Wharf Road until you turn right onto the paved entrance to the campus. Go past the first stop then at the next stop, the pond will be on your right. There's lots of construction going on with a new parking area and an addition to our main lab building so parking is wherever you can find it.
