The YCNH is currently (4:45 pm) located in the cottonwood tree
overlooking Minnehaha Creek at the intersection of 28th Ave South and

visible from the grass along the north side of 47th.

The heron didn't present itself until about 6:20pm, when it flew from its dense
cover (daytime roosting site) to a conspicuous spot on the large willow tree,

I went to the spot on the golf course by hole 12 but only saw a great blue
heron from that location. There were no golfers near by so I did not have any

Lake Hiawatha.
The golf course is closed to non-golfers--although neighbors do
quietly stroll/circumnavigate the lake--staying on the gravel path--
but only
Minnehaha Creek has continued to rise and now runs very fast with the
rains of the past 24 hours. This has eliminated the muddy shores,
sand bars, and calm waters.
So the bulk of the night heron flock has moved to the calmer water at
the south and southwest sides of Lake Hiawatha.

People have contacted me and asked for directions to the 2 locations where
the YCNH has been seen in Willmar, Kandiyohi county.
I would like to preface this by saying I have looked diligently for this
bird for parts of 7 days and about 5 hrs and HAVE NEVER FOUND IT when I was
looking. The
The yellow crowned night heron in Willmar, Kandiyohi county, was seen again
both Saturday and Sunday. (I did not have time to post earlier, sorry.)
