So excited for the rains!! We just got an excellent downpour here in NLR.
Where is everyone seeing the black-crowned night heron contingent? We live far enough away that we don't get too long to explore BK when we're there... and have only seen yellow-crowneds thus far. Would love to see the black crowneds!
