I observed four Black-crowned Night Herons and one American Bittern fly from
the north end of Tschache Pool across Rt. 89 into May's Point between 7:00 and
7:35 p.m. earlier this evening. This of course was after sunset(6:38 p.m.) and
identification was based on flight patterns and silhouettesenhanced by the
bright-orange western sky and overhead moonlight (waxing gibbous 73%).
I also observed numerous flocks of Teal flying back and forth from the main
refuge and Tschache pool. There were approximately 9 Great Egrets at May's
Point.
