[Ontbirds] Yellow crowned night heron - Ajax

[charmaine anderson via ONTBIRDS]

A Yellow crowned night heron was photographed last Saturday at Duffins
Creek, Ajax and posted on Facebook.  The bird was re-found yesterday but
not confirmed until today. I just saw the bird briefly hunkered down with
some other Herons. It flushed a short distance to a tree.

To see the bird a scope may be necessary. Take the Westney exit of the 401
and head south. Turn right on Lake Driveway and follow road around. There
are 3 spots you may be able to look for bird. The first is across from 176
Lake Driveway - there’s a spot to see into the creek.  The second spot is
further down the road turn right into Rotary Park and park at boat launch
and look north.  The other potential spot is from the bridge crossing the
creek at south end of Rotary Park.

Good luck!
Charmaine.

[Ontbirds] Yellow-crowned Night-Heron, Caledonia

[Quinten Wiegersma via ONTBIRDS]

Hi all,


Nothing has been posted here yet to my knowledge, but there is a Yellow-Crowned 
Night-Heron that has been around for about a week in Kinsmen Park in Caledonia. 
I saw it this afternoon just after 2:00 feeding on the northern shore of the 
island near the dam, pretty much directly in front of the parking lot and the 
pavilion.


Kinsmen Park is located at 49 Caithness Street in Caledonia, Ontario. The park 
is on the Grand River. The bird's exact location was (43.0739455,-79.9558568)


Good birding,

[Ontbirds] Yellow-crowned Night-Heron in Cambridge

[Neil Taylor via ONTBIRDS]

The Yellow-crowned Night-Heron in Cambridge was still present today a couple of
metres down stream from the bridge until a photographer complete with waders had
to get one metre closer for his shot. It flew downstream at 1:00 p.m. My photo
was taken from the bank about half way down the slope.
 
 From The 401 westbound, get off at Hespeler Road, and go north. At the
roundabout turn on Beaverdale road, and park on the left side of the road just
before the Speed River bridge.

Good birding!
Neil

[Ontbirds] Yellow-crowned Night Heron not visible, Windermere Basin.

[Cheryl Edgecombe via ONTBIRDS]

Sorry for the ad-nauseum updates to this bird but as of 10:28 a.m., the bird
flew back toward the small pond located off Strathearne which is in the Port
Authority property.  It likely has gone there to snooze as it did yesterday.
Perhaps later in the day will be better for those interested.

[Ontbirds] Yellow-crowned Night Heron, South Baymouth, Manitoulin

[Dominik Halas via ONTBIRDS]

While waiting for the ferry, I found a juvenile Yellow-crowned Night Heron
perched on the dock on the southern edge of the marina at South Baymouth on
Manitoulin. The marina is immediately to the west of the entrance to the
Chi-Cheemaun ferry dock. Unfortunately, the bird flew inland about half an
hour ago and I haven't been able to refind it (and my ferry is about to
leave) but if it's anything like the Toronto bird from 2014, it's likely to
stay around for a while. I'll post photos to eBird this evening.

[Ontbirds] Yellow-Crowned Night Heron- River Canard

[Andrew Darcy via ONTBIRDS]

Refound the yellow-crowned night heron this morning Sept. 12 around 10- 11:00 
am. Spotted flying up river from the rail road bridge. Then spotted from south 
shore(I.e. looking across river) right across from river canard park. The bird 
was standing on some rocks fishing on the north shore right at river canard 
park in between the floating fishing platform and observation deck. Park behind 
baseball diamonds by boat launch and walk east down gravel path along the 
river. Go past the fishing platform and turn right walk to rocks on shoreline 
and look east right before the small observation deck.

The bird is fairly hard to spot ( i.e. drab colour and very thin profile) and 
is moving around quite a bit. It's also hard to see the bird from the shore he 
is on due to the grasses. Best to spot from opposite shore first I think. A 
kayak would be even better for searching. Good Luck!

The bird has moved slightly from the location previously reported (i.e. 
yesterday), being about 100m east from the railway bridge. Specifically, it is 
in the first Manitoba Maple adjacent to the 40m grass gap, along the river.

[Ontbirds] Yellow-crowned Night-Heron - Brockville

[Jeremy Bensette via ONTBIRDS]

Hi Ontario birders, 

I apologize for my delay in posting. I was so tired last night after Brockville 
that I needed to make my way through Toronto as soon as possible. I aimed to 
write this email then get some sleep when I did eventually stop, and by the 
time I woke up this morning I knew I had accomplished one of those two things. 

Last night (June 16) at 8:40 pm I spotted the Brockville area Yellow-crowned 
Night-Heron flying low in a southward direction toward the nearby town of 
Tincap. It disappeared into some trees (around 44.6261, -75.7578) shortly after 
I got my binoculars on it. This location is less than 2km west of the spot it 
was seen yesterday at Mac Johnson Wildlife Area, and about 1km straight north 
from the centre of Tincap. 

I saw the Yellow-crowned Night-Heron from Airport Rd. next to Tincap Golf Club. 
The town of Tincap is northwest of Brockville along County Rd 29. 

Good luck to anyone looking for it! Hopefully it gets comfortable at one 
viewable location. Good birding!

Jeremy

[Ontbirds] Yellow-crowned Night-Heron

[Brenda Evers via ONTBIRDS]

I observed an adult Yellow-crowned Night-Heron at 7 pm. tonight at the Mac 
Johnson Wildlife Area (aka the Back Pond) 4649 Debruge Rd. From the 401 Hwy. 
take the Hwy. 29 exit into Brockville. Proceed north on Hwy. 29 aka Stewart 
Blvd. about 5 minutes to Tincap. There is a restaurant and set of lights. Turn 
right. Follow Debruge Rd.about 3 or 4 minutes to the MJWA sign on the right. 
Follow the road in to the main parking lot. The bird was feeding heavily in the 
fields and can be seen from the lot. Please note the Area is only open from 
dawn until dusk and dogs are to be leashed at all times. Good luck. Brenda Evers

[Ontbirds] Yellow-crowned Night-Heron in Newcastle - June 8 - YES

[Barbara Charlton via ONTBIRDS]

Ontbirders,

The Yellow-crowned Night-Heron is present this morning. For location and
directions see Glenn's post below or previous posts.

Good birding,
Barb Charlton

To: "Ontbirds" 
Cc:

Ontbirds subscribers,


Tonight I visited the pond at 3147 Morgans Road in Newcastle where the
Yellow-crowned Night-Heron has been present for the past 5 days.


I arrived at 8:35 p.m. and there was no sign of the bird near the pond or
on the surrounding grass or in the trees. After 20 minutes on site the bird
walked up out of the pond where it had presumably been the whole time. It
walked around the east edge of the pond and up onto the grass for a few
minutes of viewing before it eventually flew a short distance up into the
woods due east of the pond at 9:02 p.m. The west rim of the pond can easily
conceal the bird if it is feeding tucked in behind there.


On my way into the site, I found an adult Franklin's Gull in among a
foraging flock of 100+ Ring-billed Gulls feeding in a bare field opposite
#3554 Third Concession just east of Highway 35/115.


For those thinking of going to the Morgans Road area near pre-dawn or
post-dusk times, I would strongly caution you to drive slowly as there are
many deer here that are used to feeding in the roadside ditches and the
woodland edges.


Directions:  Take Highway 401 to Hwy 35/115 North and exit at the Third
Concession. Go east on the Third Concession 4.9 km to Morgans Road. Turn
left (north) and proceed 300 metres north to property #3147 and the pond in
the distance is where the bird is most frequently seen. Be sure to pull
well off the road and it is probably a good idea to use your vehicle as a
blind.

Directions:  Take Highway 401 to Hwy 35/115 North and exit at the Third 
Concession. Go east on the Third Concession 4.9 km to Morgans Road. Turn left 
(north) and proceed 300 metres north to property #3147 and the pond in the 
distance is where the bird is most frequently seen. Be sure to pull well off 
the road and it is probably a good idea to use your vehicle as a blind.

[Ontbirds] Yellow-crowned Night-Heron - Newcastle

[Jeremy Bensette via ONTBIRDS]

Hi there,

This is not an update as to whether the YCNH has returned or not, but I would 
like to extend a request and suggestion to those searching for it.

Please try to search for this bird only from cars on the road in front of the 
houses it has been seen at. I am well aware that this is usually not the case 
with Yellow-crowned Night-Herons, but if it's not being seen easily why not try 
to eliminate reasons it would be inclined to fly away?

For the most part it seems that any time this bird was seen it was when very 
few people were present and looking for/at it. The homeowners and birder(s) who 
photographed it did so from a considerable distance and with at least some 
cover between them and the bird. When I was there the evening after it had been 
first reported, a number of us walked back and forth between the two houses 
it's known to visit, never seeing it. Like I said this is normally perfect for 
viewing this species in this type of situation, but as of now at least it is 
not working. Let's see if we can get that fellow to stick around there for 
weeks so that we birders as well as the very pleased and generous pond owners 
can continue to enjoy it! If taking extra care does not change things for 
viewing this bird, we haven't lost anything by trying.

Directions as per Geoff Carpentier: The YCNH is visible right now at 3147 
Morgans Rd. Newcastle. Exit 401 at
hwy 115/35 and go north to conc 3 then east to Morgans 
Rd. Then north to
property. Pond is set back from road on east side. Do not enter property
pls. It was also present in a small wetland beside house 3095 on a previous 
date.

Good birding!
Jeremy Bensette - Leamington


Ps, to my very supportive friends and fans (thanks so much for the support so 
far!) of this Ontario Big Year who have been asking about progress, blog and 
facebook inactivity, etc., I am indeed still going strong! Between driving, 
birding, changes in social life, the odd night's sleep, etc., I have found next 
to no time for internet in the last couple of months. I am currently sitting 
very close to the 300 species mark, and although that could be better, I am at 
a very good pace for rarities which is most important and am very pleased with 
how the birding is going! Good birding to all, and I look forward to seeing you 
around somewhere in Ontario!

[Ontbirds] Yellow-crowned Night-Heron Newcastle June 5

[Margaret Bain via ONTBIRDS]

The YCNH seems to be frequenting the small pond beside 3095 Morgans Road east 
of Newcastle on a fairly regular basis though it may disappear for short 
periods before coming back.
It’s easy to see from the road and several of us watched it from about 11.45am 
until noon.
It has a fully adult head pattern and plume but still some brown in the body 
and wing feathering, suggesting a “young adult” perhaps a second year bird.

Directions: Morgans Road is between Newcastle and Newtonville, north of 
Hwy.401, off Reg.Rd.2 
Go north from Reg.Rd 2 on Morgans Road for 1.5km or so and 3095 is well posted 
on the east side.
Margaret Bain.

[Ontbirds] Yellow-crowned Night-Heron, Col. Samuel Smith Park, Toronto - Present today Aug. 20, 2014

[Garth Riley via ONTBIRDS]

For those of you who are still hoping to see this bird. It was present today 
from at least 1:30 - 2:20 PM. It was roosting and preening on a large branch, 
on the north-east portion of the island in the large pond (with the viewing 
platform). The bird was best seen from the gravel path which runs north and 
south on the east side of the pond. Enter a partial clearing (the most northern 
access point) and look west. I have seen it here previously so it appears to be 
one of its preferred roosting areas. 

Directions: Head south on Kipling Avenue from the Gardiner Expressway until you 
reach the parking lot at the south end of Kipling. Walk east past the entrance 
to the viewing platform and keep left until you are heading north. The bird was 
seen from the third clearing on your left while walking north. This clearing is 
somewhat obscured by trees but is readily accessible.


Good luck,

[Ontbirds] Yellow-crowned Night Heron and American Avocet - Hillman Marsh, Essex County

[Josh Vandermeulen]

Not 5 minutes after my previous post, an adult Yellow-crowned Night Heron flew 
past and circled around before landing somewhere in the reeds on the north side 
of the dyke (opposite of where the avocet is)! I heard it again at 8:20 calling 
but due to the lack of light I could not locate it. See below for directions. 
Sometimes it is better to be lucky than good!

[Ontbirds] Yellow-crowned Night-Heron, Scarborough

[Rick Lauzon]

It's a bit of a tough call, but I believe I saw a young YC Night-heron on
Tam O'Shanter Golf Course just north of the pond on the 15th hole, in a
small creek (parallel to Kennedy Rd).

The bird was strikingly slim and tall, with a long neck and an all dark
bill.  The neck/breast was finely streaked.  I've seen a lot of young
Black-crowned Night-herons, and they all look relatively chunky and thick
necked.  The bird was quite still and allowed me to walk right up to it.
I'll try to sneak in there tomorrow and get a photo.  I had eventually
flushed it, but it didn't fly far. It was at about 7PM.

[Ontbirds] Yellow-Crowned Night - Heron

[jeblack]

On November 2 a juvenile Yellow-crowned Night-Heron was seen on the old 
canal in Port Colborne by Jean and Blayne Farnan.  It was in the company 
of a juvenile Black-crowned Night - Heron. It was in the trees on the 
western side of the canal north of Highway 3  It was not seen there this 
morning, November 3.


Directions:  Highway 3 runs through Port Colborne. It passes over a 
bridge over the old canal on the eastern side of Port Colborne and just 
west of the new canal. You can inspect the trees on the western side of 
the old canal on Weir Road, which runs north of Highway 3, on the east 
side of the old canal. You can also study the old canal to the south of 
Highway 3 from the bridge

[Ontbirds] Yellow Crowned Night Heron - Windsor.

[Karen Morgan]

I've been spending most mornings from about 8am to 10am at Malden Park in 
Windsor.  There's usually a Great Blue Heron there, numerous Green Herons and 4 
Black Crowned Night Herons (3 Males and one Female), but today I got a special 
treat when I noticed a Yellow Crowned Night Heron!  I honestly didn't know what 
it was at first, as I've only really studied birds that are common to the area, 
but having photos to confirm it in my bird book, it was for sure what I saw.
Malden park is located on Malden road.  Take Huron Church to Malden (Malden 
only goes one way..the other side has is "Northway"), continue around 
bend..entrance to park is on the right.  Follow path (the one that 
continues from the entrance driveway behind the yellow "no vehicles past this 
point" gate).  Found the yellow-crowned (twice) at the end of that path in the 
large pond at the back corner.

Happy birding everyone.

[Ontbirds]Yellow-crowned Night-Heron at Little River

[Randy Horvath]

Early this afternoon I found a first fall Yellow-crowned Night-Heron foraging 
in a small marshy area east of the Ganatchio Trail in the Little River area of 
east Windsor. The bird is cooperative and can be approached, so you can study 
it well in your binoculars without needing a scope. This is something like 
species number 220 for me in this gem of a site within Windsor's city limits.

To relocate this bird, find your way to the Little River Road entrance to the 
site and park in the lot near the toboggan hill. Find the paved Ganatchio Trail 
and follow it to the north for about 5 minutes, until you reach a little rise. 
To your left will be another paved trail, and to your right you will see a 
gravelly path that will take you east to the first of three very large ponds 
the city has excavated. The marshy area is just a short distance from the paved 
trail on your right, before you reach the huge pond. I had a Virginia Rail in 
there also about 10 days ago, and there are about 8 Wood Ducks there now.

Every wet area at this site appears to be teeming with frogs, so perhaps this 
bird might linger. Good luck if you chase it.

Randy Horvath, Windsor

[Ontbirds]Yellow-crowned Night Heron ... Grimsby

[Ray Barlow]

I can imagine the interest in this post., my friend Brandon Holden confirmed 
the ID today as he saw the image on my website., he and I went for a look this 
afternoon, but it appears the bird has moved on., I am going to go have a look 
again at dusk tonight, just to be sure.
 
the image I have is on my website, in the recent photos... here
 
http://www.pbase.com/raymondjbarlow/recent_photos

The location is Grimsby, I prefer to not disclose the exact location, as the 
area where this bird was found is a quiet nature area, and I do not want it 
overwhelmed with visitors, especially since I am pretty sure the bird has moved 
on with the strong windy conditions today.
 
Yesterday, with little wind, and a storm brewing most of the day, I am sure the 
bird was just in for a rest stop, on its way south.  If someone wishes me to 
make some kind of official report, I could, just let me know.  I was the only 
one who saw the bird that I know of. I have several other images. I will try to 
get them processed soon, and posted on the website.
 
If there are any local birders who would like to go for a look tomorrow 
morning, please email me, and I will do a short guided tour.
 
Thanks for the help today Brandon, see you soon.
 
kind regards to everyone., take good care.

[Ontbirds]Yellow-crowned Night-Heron, Hillman Marsh(shorebird cell)

[Dean Ware]

birders,

At about 8:25pm my daughter and I found a first summer Yellow-crowned Night 
Heron on the east side of the Shorebird habitat. We flushed the bird from 
the grass along the dyke and luckily the bird flew in front of us a landed 
in a tree about 10m away.After about 15min of viewing we could  no longer 
sit on the bird for you know who to show up so we had to leave. Walking 
towards the bird we flushed the bird again and it just simply flew over and 
down the dyke till we flushed it again and again and at one point my 
daughter (3yrs.) wished to "pet it's head"... yes we were close. Lastly we 
left the bird at the bend in the trail just before the tall cotton 
wood/willow trees on the east side of the shorebird cell.

[Ontbirds]Yellow-crowned Night-Heron in Bronte Wednesday @ 9 PM

[Gavin Edmondstone]

There was an adult Yellow-crowned Night-Heron perched on a 6th floor terrace
at the back of 2511 Lakeshore Rd. West in Oakville. The bird flew towards
the lake just after I took some photos. I will send photos to Sandra Eadie
for the OFO site. According to our neighbours the bird was there for at
least 30 minutes. Thanks to Vince McNally for knocking on the door to let us
know!

Directions:Exit the QEW at Bronte Rd. and go towards the lake. Turn
right at Lakeshore Rd. 2511 is on the right beside Bronte Creek. The bird
might roost anywhere along Bronte creek tomorrow.
