Re: [mou-net] Yellow-crowned Night-Heron (Hennepin Co.)
Just went back and had it pointed out to me. Sitting high up on back side of an oak tree and not at all conspicuous.

Re: [mou-net] Yellow-crowned Night-Heron (Hennepin Co.)
This morning was my first chance to look for this bird since learning about it. I went there around 7AM and did not find it. (Not a strong indication that it is gone, rather that the guy with terrible eyesight doesn't usually locate too many silent, drab birds...) I will be watching eBird today and this list - hopefully if anyone re-finds they can post with some details as to where it is at now.

Re: [mou-net] Yellow-crowned Night-Heron (Hennepin Co.)
The Yelllow-crowned Night-heron can be seen with fairly unobstructed views, if it remains in the roosting spot it was occupying a half-hour ago. It is above eye-level in a tree on the shore of Goose Nest Pond (there are many trail maps along the Richardson Nature Center Trails). Walk the length of the square metal boardwalk to a bench just past the end of the boardwalk. The heron is on the east side of the pond, maybe 50 yards from the bench and above eye-level. It will help a lot if there is someone present to point it out!

Re: [mou-net] Yellow-crowned Night-Heron (Hennepin Co.)
The bird was seen again between 8:30 and 9:00am this morning. I don’t have any other details on today’s sighting. But it’s still around at least!

I usually stick to reporting casual/accidental species, but this “rare regular” is in the Twin Cities, where many birders could enjoy it. However, this bird was sighted yesterday and just reported to the Facebook masses today. Two birders tried for it this evening with no luck. But for those interested, check out Seong Oh’s eBird checklist: https://ebird.org/checklist/S72603587. Specifically, the bird was near the square loop dock.

[mou-net] Yellow-crowned Night-Heron, Hennepin Co.
Juvenile perched in snag near shore of Long Meadow Lake, Bass Ponds, from overlook near southwest end of Hogback Ridge pond. We watched and photographed it from 11:40 a.m.-12:15 p.m. Eventually it flew to the northeast into the marsh. Photo posted on Recently Seen.
