It's been a productive few days for Green Herons on Whidbey. After 5 years of looking for this species all over the island, we have seen one on three of the past four days. There was a heron at Deer Lagoon, along the trail to the west dike in the general area of the snags which are to the right of the trail, on Sunday and Monday, and another sighting Wednesday afternoon and evening at Crockett Lake, in the tide gate channel adjacent to Callen's Restaurant.

Have Green Herons been showing up more than usual elsewhere in the region?
