I checked Jeff's blog and that is not the bird. Green herons, great blue herons, and black-crowned night-herons are all regularly seen in that same area.
The bird we saw is much different in markings and structure than that photo or the green herons which are commonly seen here. It hangs around with the black-crowned night-herons, which usually only show up as evening falls. Diana Doyle S. Minneapolis -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
