[EBB Sightings] Lake Temescal- Green Heron

Some one was looking for a place to see and photograph a GREEN HERON. I just 
happened to stop by Lake Temescal today from about 1:00 to 2:00 and was 
privileged to watch a beautiful GH for almost the full hour. I spooked it 
out of the reeds along the West side of the lake, and it flew to the North 
end and perched on a log waiting for lunch to swim along. It was in 
magnificent light had I had my camera with me, it would have made for a 
wonderful shot.

It must have been a heron holiday as there was also a GREAT BLUE and a 
BLACK-CROWNED NIGHT HERON in the reeds along the East side of the lake. 
There was a SNOWY EGRET there as well. Along with the GREAT EGRET I saw at 
the 238/ 580 inter-change in Castro Valley on my way into Oakland, I can 
check off practically the whole family in one day.
