A walk around the campus this morning yielded the following: Location: Kendal at Hanover Observation date: 4/28/09 Notes: I also saw a bird flying over with very rounded wings and a very short tail. My first thought was bittern, since it looked larger than a Green Heron. Then I wondered if it could be a Black- crowned Night-Heron. It was just a little too far away to be sure.
