Dateline: 12 May 2022
Very early start today to avoid the ‘crowds’ at Presque Isle State Park. Rather startled, on the Sidewalk Trail, to see three of the above flying overhead, generally heading west-to-east. A birder passerby suggested American Bittern, but this is clearly a Green Heron. Of course, very hard to tell transitorily at a distance = nice to have a camera for post-sighting forensics.
Anyway, lovely to see in full flight!
