Dear Dan and Tweeters,

Green Herons are fairly common around Sedro-Woolley, or at least they used to be until recently. Maybe it's because I don't work in Sedro any more, but I have not seen them in town in a couple of years. One birder who used to live near Sedro-Woolley High School told me she used to get them perching in trees in her wooded yard, right in town! They could also be found near some woodsy creeks and sloughs between the town and the Skgagit River (near the Kiwanis ballfields).

Other places in Skagit County where they turn up regularly include:

Fir Island Game Range (if it still exists!) has been the most reliable place lately;

Anacortes Street Pond and Gage's Slough in Burlington;

Gage's Slough between Burlington and Sedro-Woolley (where SR 20 crosses the slough, and north of there, between Mary Lane and District Line Road);

Various sloughs near Cockreham Island and Hamilton;

Pony Island in Concrete.

Yours truly,

Gary Bletsch ?
