Warren's post today, 1/17, reminded me of my hoping for Black-crowned
Night-Herons on the Knox Christmas count at the Louisville Marina, Jan 2. We
had missed it all day and rechecked the Marina at dusk. I arrived at 5:50pm.
At 5:55 two night-herons glided in from off the river. I had never been
there at this time of day to see this. Then some more came in, some landing
in trees, others on the docks. Within less than fifteen minutes, 14
night-herons had arrived silently and disappeared into their roosts, and it
was over. Quite a sight. I'm sure this is a daily phenomenon, but if you
come looking, don't be late. I parked across the street from the Marina
entrance in a small overflow lot where the field of view was the best.
