Not sure it’s related, but a friend and I had a good long look at a green heron working the edges of the lagoon in Stewart Park, last Wednesday morning between 9 & 10 AM. As it worked its way around counterclockwise from the east side, it flew a few feet to perch on a log quite close to where we were sitting, on the northwestern edge of the lagoon on the shore of that large lawn. When it noticed us, it flew up to grasp on one of the strands of the huge willow there, remarkably camouflaged. It did not vocalize at all. Best look I’ve ever had of a green heron at work.

It flew up to a tree and hid, emitting an unlikely croak. I may be wrong but if someone is down there it may be worth a look. There is also a Kingfisher that hangs out back there.
