Today, 7 Jun., the Tricolored Heron was still at Black Rush Lake WPA, Lyons Twp., Lyon Co., where Bob Janssen found it on June 5th.
>From 11:50 to 11:55 this morning, the heron was in view from the >minimum-maintenance road that bisects the WPA - the same road from which Bob >saw it two days ago, and on which Dedrick Benz saw it yesterday. >Specifically, it was 80-100 yards to the west of the road, just north of a >broad east-to-west channel running through the marsh vegetation; that channel >is perhaps 750 yards south of CR 59. At 11:55 the heron took off, flew west, and landed again, still within the WPA but out of sight behind vegetation. Phil Chu Department of Biology St. John's University Collegeville, MN 56321
