Re: [cayugabirds-l] 13+ BC Night-Herons from East Road

[Dave Nutter]

Who says it's not a rookery? In years past, my impression was that they 
probably nested along the channel on the south end of the west side. I heard 
that the trees there had been cut down, but perhaps they are nesting somewhere 
very nearby.

[cayugabirds-l] 13+ BC Night-Herons from East Road

[Sandy Podulka]

Montezuma was fairly quite this afternoon, but from the overlook on 
East Road we could see 13+ adult Black-crowned Night-Herons foraging 
in the marsh. The most I recall seeing outside of a rookery 
anywhere!  Also present were numerous Great Egrets and Great Blue 
Herons. I was especially surprised to see so many Night-Herons at 
3:30 in the afternoon!  Perhaps they are desperately feeding young right now?
