Not 5 minutes after my previous post, an adult Yellow-crowned Night Heron flew
past and circled around before landing somewhere in the reeds on the north side

but due to the lack of light I could not locate it. See b
At 7:30 this evening I found a basic plumaged American Avocet along the Couture
Dyke in the eastern part of Hillman Marsh, Essex County. Crappy digiscoped
photos taken. It is still present now at dusk.
The Couture dyke is accessed from the south side of Mersea Road 2, east of the

Hespeler Millpond just out from the Ellacott Lookout (235 Queen St.) .
One of the egrets had a green tag on each wing but I could not read t
Yesterday after checking out the salmon being lifted above a dam in
