Little Blue Heron (Boulder County) Yes

[Tom Behnfield]

Art Hudak, David Starbuck & I are presently viewing the Ltitle Blue Heron on the south edge of the Western island at Rogers Grove Park in Longmont (Boulder County.

We followed the bird around the lake and it is very active, working it's way around both islands.

We did not see the Green Heron.

Good birding!

Hey-o

I went up to Rodgers Grove Park this morning to see the Little Blue Heron, but there was a crowd of people there.  I thought, Man Alive, this must be some bird!  Turns out there was a marathon event taking place there, so it was very crowded.  No sign of the Little Blue Heron.  I went across the road to Golden Ponds for a couple of hours, there were runners there as well, but spread out a little more.  I saw a family of Common Mergansers on St. Vrain creek, that was a nice surprise.   After the crowd thinned out I headed back to Rodgers Grove Park, pulled in on the south end, hopped out of the car, and Bingo!  The Little Blue Heron was wading around on the south side of the western island.  I watched for awhile, took a few pictures and called it a day.  No sign of the Green Heron while I was there either, although an osprey landed in the water near one of the islands while I was sitting in the car. 

Good Birding -
