Merrick, NY Lindenmere Drive just south of Merrick Road (40.653845, -73.550378) had 38 black crowned night herons perched in the trees in over the water west of the road. Same day I was on Everit Ave just east of Meadowview Ave in Hewlett Harbor (40.638442, -73.691971) and saw 22 night herons in a similar setting. The first time I noticed the group in Merrick was two dasy after Sandy hit (11/1/12) but didn't have power to post it and forgot about it. Is this an annual common find that I somehow just missed the last decade living down here?
