Invasion of the Black Crowned Night Herons
My town has many lakes and many, many large Live Oak trees (we are known for our trees). This makes a perfect stopping spot for migrating birds,
and for nesting waterfowl especially. In late May, we get inundated with Night Herons.
The City has metal signs that they put out every April - June, because there are young birds EVERYWHERE.
In one block, yesterday, I came across about 30 juvenile Night Herons on the street or in the trees.
Unfortunately, some of these babies fall on the pavement and end up hurt.
