Yellow-crowned Night-Heron is rarely reported in the Cayuga Lake Basin generally and in Tompkins County specifically. However, there have been several reports in recent years from Fall Creek in the Freeville area, two of which were verified with photographs and accepted by eBird: In May 2021 an adult was seen in Mill Dam Park very near to this location, and in June 2021 an adult was seen along Fall Creek adjacent to Groton Avenue Park. It’s possible the species is regular there and just hasn’t been noticed much.
