Bonus Heron

As forecast, a cloudy Saturday morning here in Erie County, PA. Good trail conditions at Presque Isle State Park, but today’s the Barber Institute’s Beast on the Bay obstacle race (starting 8:30AM, presumably from the Budny Beach area, ending at Waldameer Amusement Park), so expect busy conditions and some trails either in-effect closed (e.g. Dead Pond) or hard to access (e.g., Gull Point).


While waiting for more warbler or shorebird sightings, here’s recent content, off Long Pond, of BirdingPI.com’s “favourite heron regularly seen at Presque Isle.” (Sorry, GBH.)

Green Heron

“Word of mouth” reports indicate significant, if someone sporadic/variable, bird activity over the week at Presque Isle. Happy birding!
