Hello all - starting last summer (2014), I realized it has been a few years
since I've seen Yellow-crowned Night-herons in west Tennessee. Several
years ago I would see them fairly often each summer, always early in the
morning while driving near roadside ditches or walking through wooded
bottomland creeks. A quick check on eBird and there are a few records in
2014 and 2015 but most are from several years ago. They have never been
"common" by my estimation, but I'd expect to see at least a few each
summer, even with random birding.
Anybody else noticed this, or am I just in the wrong place at the wrong
time the last few years?
Thanks in advance for any feedback,
Bob Ford
