There is not just one, but now two Little Blue Herons being seen at the Douglas County locations of recent posts. In addition to the immature LBH, Ben & Mary from Long Prairie discovered an adult at the same location today (Wednesday, 7/23 ) about 2:00 p.m.
We had seen the immature about an hour earlier, and after we talked with Ben & Mary (we hope they post so we get their last names right, and they can receive the adulation they deserve!), we zipped right back to the spot where lo and behold and what to our wondering eyes should appear, but an adult LBH in the same vicinity. We watched for about 7-8 minutes, snapped our usual couple of mediocre pictures, and then watched as the pair took off and circled off into the northwest. The Snowy Egret and Cattle Egrets were also seen between 1:00 - 3:30 this afternoon at locations noted in previous posts. --Dan & Sandy *** Dan & Sandy Thimgan Battle Lake, MN Otter Tail Co.
