Had at least 4 Black-crowned Night-Herons flying around the marsh at the south end of the lake after sunset tonight. The most I have ever seen up here. Really neat to watch them circle the marsh on their broad wings giving their distinctive ‘woc’ calls.
FOS species today at the lake:
· Black-crowned Night-Heron
· Spotted Sandpiper
· Northern Rough-winged Swallow
· Barn Swallow
· Broad-tailed Hummingbird yesterday at my house.
27 species in all. Complete list below.
Note: Manitou Lake is a fee area ($6 per car) and closes at or just after sunset.
