[EBB Sightings] Green Heron at Lake Temescal

Bruce,

    Thanks for the Green Heron nest 
info.  There are plenty of trees 
around the perimeter of Lake 
Temescal, many of them oak trees. 
I'll keep an eye out.
    This morning at Lake Temescal, 
the WHITE-THROATED SPARROW foraged 
with four other sparrow species 
just north of the south parking lot 
off Broadway Terrace.  Two KILLDEER 
continue to forage and roost in the 
sand of the swim beach.  Four 
RING-NECKED DUCKS have joined the 
small flotilla of RUDDY DUCKS that 
have been around for awhile.  And 
the juvenile GREEN HERON that Jim 
Roethe reported continues along the 
inlet creek.
