I drove to Spring Hammock Preserve this morning hoping to find my first Great Crested Flycatcher of the year.<\/p>\n

I didn’t see one, but I did hear one calling. The biggest surprise, though, was this Black-crowned Night Heron.<\/p>\n

It had flown up into the branches of a tree overhanging a stream, so my guess is that it’s going to try to nest somewhere along the stream.<\/p>\n

I’m going to have to come back here more often now.<\/p>\n

It would be wonderful to confirm breeding of Black-crowned Night Herons in this block.<\/p>\n
