We had been neglecting our local nature trails. I got up on Mother’s day, after a full Saturday of birdwatching and looked at eBird to see what had been seen near our home. To my surprise a Yellow-crowned Night Heron had been sighted just down the street from our home. We had seen a Yellow-crowned Night Heron in Florida in March and added him to our life lists, but he does not belong in my neighborhood.
I made a Mother’s Day breakfast and we got around. We went down the street hoping to see the rare bird.
Here are a couple of his pictures.
Rabbit River Nature Trail is a nice little nature preserve. It is less than a mile from our home. It is actually at the end of our street. The facility includes a pavilion and restrooms. Dogs are welcome.
