Chris Rurik and I went over to the Wheat Ridge Greenbelt at about 6:30PM this evening and waited patiently for what seemed to me to be a very long
time, with no night-heron is sight.
Chris told me it was actually only a three minutes before the cooperative adult YCNH
flew in from the east, hugged the south shore and landed practically at our feet.
It perused the seafood section of the menu, but did not dine while Chris and I, Dean Shoup and others admired it
for 25 minutes. David Suddjian's observation of this bird carrying nesting material (a stick) was intriguing.
