Congrats on the GH! I think that's the first report of one

I saw one a couple times last week at the park. I found it near the new pond by the bridge and once flying over. I wondered if it had been driven out of Fishtrap Creek Park by the storm two weeks ago.

Nice find on the Green Heron John. I got one in the same spot Aug. 29, 2 years ago.

The Green Heron that John reported at Wilband was still there this evening.

I think I may have seen one of these this morning. I took a picture but it was through the fence and didn't turn out very well.
