The two juvenile Yellow-crowned Night-Herons were still in Madison Twp., =
Lac Qui Parle Co., on Saturday, 13 August.

On Saturday, the two night-herons had moved a short distance down US 75 =
to the Madison Wildlife Management Area, located on the southwest side =
of US 75 0.8 miles southeast of its intersection with CR 59.

The centerpiece, I guess, of the Madison Wildlife Management Area is a =
fairly large pothole, and the night-herons were on the US-75 side of the =
pothole.  There they were often hidden by the emergent vegetation at the =
water's edge, so that they could be quite difficult to see.
