Had at least 4 Black-crowned Night-Herons flying around the marsh at the south end of the lake after sunset tonight. The most I have ever seen up here. Really neat to watch them circle the marsh on their broad wings giving their distinctive 'woc' calls.
FOS species today at the lake: . Black-crowned Night-Heron . Spotted Sandpiper . Northern Rough-winged Swallow . Barn Swallow . Broad-tailed Hummingbird yesterday at my house. 27 species in all. Complete list below. Note: Manitou Lake is a fee area ($6 per car) and closes at or just after sunset.
