The Yellow-crowned Night Heron has been hanging around again lately. He's found a spot where the fishing must be good because he's been there the last three days searching for food in the same place.
Today he had a friend watching his back. A Spotted Sandpiper was "spotted" behind the heron running up and down the bank in search of food. Having completed his breeding obligations up north he is back on his way south to his wintering grounds. It is amazing how quickly they finish their business and head back south.
