Hi, Folks,

Here’s an interesting resident of the Parkway. Somewhat bigger than a crow, it’s a Black-crowned Night Heron, not so often seen in the daytime as the larger egrets and herons. This chunky heron goes shopping for food primarily at night, when it is easier to distance itself from its larger competitors who forage during the day.

I hope you’re able to have a minimum of competitors and stay at safe distance from others when you’re out shopping for limited items!
