[mou] Tricolored Heron still in Lyon Co. on 7 Jun.

[Chu, Philip]

Today, 7 Jun., the Tricolored Heron was still at Black Rush Lake WPA, Lyons Twp., Lyon Co., where Bob Janssen found it on June 5th.

>From 11:50 to 11:55 this morning, the heron was in view from the minimum-maintenance road that bisects the WPA - the same road from which Bob saw it two days ago, and on which Dedrick Benz saw it yesterday.  Specifically, it was 80-100 yards to the west of the road, just north of a broad east-to-west channel running through the marsh vegetation; that channel is perhaps 750 yards south of CR 59.

At 11:55 the heron took off, flew west, and landed again, still within the WPA but out of sight behind vegetation.
