This afternoon I found a juvenile Black-crowned Night-Heron near Burlington Bay in Two Harbors, Lake Co. It was in the small grassy field on the west side of First Street, two blocks south of Highway 61. Sharon Lind, Peder Svingen, and I relocated it later roosting on the outer branches of a dense stand of red pine on the west side of the field. At dusk we found a Smith's Longspur downtown along Waterfront Drive at the railroad tracks, below the smaller of the two historic trains. We had great looks from about 10 yards away, through the scope. It was very loosely associating with a flock of Lapland Longspurs. We also had a Vesper Sparrow farther west along the railroad tracks.
