From Tom Halliwell,
I went to the condo parking lot on Katherine Street about 11:00 today (Sunday) and did not find the YCNH. Thinking that there must be more habitat along the river, I drove south over the Savage Street bridge and pulled in to the right at the Savage Street Municipal parking lot about 100-200 yards past the bridge. I walked back to the bridge and began scanning the river back toward the condos and, incredibly, there it was! The night-heron was in the large White Oak that extends nearly across the river from the cemetery side (left side) about 100 yards west of the bridge. Its lowest branches are currently in the water. The bird was roosting just about over the middle of the river. I shot a picture for the heck of it at high ISO just to see what would happen. At least you can see what it is! Thanks to Steve for finding this.
All the best,
Tom Halliwell
