So, as if you don’t already have enough to do, I just received an email report that, today, some birders from the western suburbs found an adult Yellow-crowned Night-heron at Sugar River Forest Preserve. It was in the lower end of the loop road, where it passes through the flooded bottoms, on the one-way loop. Please reply to this post if you go there and are able to relocate it. Thanks.
By the way, the Hudsonian Godwit continues on Meridian Road and another was found on Oliver Road just W of its intersection with Harrison Road.

I received an email from John Longhenry that he found the Yellow-crowned Night-heron on Saturday, May 17. He tried to email a photo to us but apparently it got lost in the ether. He just re-sent it. Nice photo, John! He also has some nice photos of Wilson’s Phalarope and the SB Dowitchers at Roscoe & Gleasman Roads from last Saturday.
