On Saturday, saw the two adult YCNHs but no juvenile and since we were putting up the nets again on Sunday at SBBO, thought I’d check out Sugar River again.  So on Sunday, August 16th, I returned to Sugar River and this time saw a juvenile YCNH along with one adult YCNH.  Both these birds were working the pond/marsh area on the major loop in the park. The light was terrible but did manage to get some decent photos of this bird.  Mosquitoes have not left the area yet and have been joined by some rather large flys (maybe a horsefly) and the pond/marsh water level has dropped significantly over the last month.
