Sunday Morning Falcon/Heron Watch (6:30 – 10:30 am) – 8/9/20
By Rochester Falcon Watcher Carol P.
Morning Watchers: Dana and Carol P.
Morning Falcons: Beauty & Dot.ca, Plus a Trifecta of Herons!
Weather: Cool enough for a jacket. Breezy, Sunny and mix of blue sky & clouds.
Dana and I decided to get downtown early to check out the herons on the river. We were able to see three different herons this morning; Great Blue Heron, Green Heron and Black-crowned Night Herons (adult & juvie). I’ll post some pictures of the herons at the end of my report, per a request from my good friend Larry O. 🙂
During our watch, we had both Beauty and Dot.ca. Beauty was in hunt mode. While we were there, she was not successful.
Here are some pictures from the morning watch. Enjoy!

Get the “Rustoeum” for Old City Hall!
Loved the three heron variety images; I learned more about the black-crowned and green from seeing them.

So glad you saw three different kinds of herons, and that there is a black crowned night heron family!
