I had a call with a report of a green heron.  The reportee was Coyler Durni=
vich who is a young birder from South Carolina.  He knows his stuff=2C so t=
here is no doubt that the report is valid.  Anyhow=2C this bird was at one =
of the ponds at Eagle Head=2C Queens County.  There are quite a few ponds t=
here=2C so it might be hard to relocate.  I took a run up that way today=2C=
 but did not have any luck.

What did surprise Pat and I were two great egrets.  Both were at West Berli=
n.  There is a very large pond that drains into the ocean.  A backhoe has r=
ecently opened the flow up and the water level has gone way down.  The egre=
ts can easily be viewed from the road.

A northern harrier and a common nighthawk at the same time as the egrets wa=
s neat also.
