Night Heron and Berry Springs

Quick jaunt to Berry Springs park near sundown to see what birds were to be found. A few blue-gray gnatcatchers were foraging in the brush along the back side of the pecan field, near the dam. A Carolina Chickadee was pishing in the tree nearby.

I saw only a half dozen Eastern Bluebirds in the grove, far fewer than last weekend. Also found a Yellow-crowned Night Heron fishing patiently in the catch basin in the middle of the pecan grove.
