Observation details
Seen in the evening hours on North Rice Lake flowage/marsh. Ten was the highest count we saw at once, so more were probably present down in the marsh vegetation and out of sight. All ages were present, even two really young birds that looked like they were recently out of the nest. Also saw one bird carrying a stick (zoom in on photo) or something, so maybe this bird still was tending a nest somewhere and was adding nesting material? We have seen this heron in this area in years past, but only thought of now to check for them.
