Black-crowned Night-Heron at Veterans Park in Milwaukee Wisconsin on April 13, 2018

Even though it was a gloomy and rainy day I birded along a small part of the Milwaukee lakefront. Beaches Mckinley, Bradford and Lakeshore State Park had only a hand full of Ring-billed Gulls. A glance at Veterans Park provided distant views across the lagoon of a single Black-crowned Night-Heron. With rain coming down I took a distant shot of the FOY bird. A day of showers and sprinkles with little wind on a gloomy day with temps in the upper 30’s. Image was taken on April 13, 2018, a little early for this species arrival.

I have heard a lot of frogs singing while out birding lately, so hopefully this bird will be able to find food. Thanks for the report and sharing the photo.
