[cobirds] follow up to EAKI "eyebrow" bird at Walden in Boulder

I knew I had seen that bird before. Here is a note received from a photographer friend after I enquired if he had photographed it last year. He did! (I have the photo). He asks an unrelated bird question -- and I don't know the answer. If you have one, tell us and I'll forward. Thanks!

Yep. A photo is attached. I think this is one of a pair that had a nest just to the west of the Duck Pond last year. I will have to go back and try to get a better picture! :)

Also, while I'm writing, maybe you can answer a question. I have been shooting thousands (yes, thousands) of pictures of the Great Blue Herons at Golden Ponds. I have noticed several times that a bird would catch a fish, then drop it near the bank instead of swallowing it. Could they be putting it aside to pick up later? I've never seen this before. Best, Woody
