[Maine-birds] Yellow-crowned Night Herons (3) at Great Pond, Biddeford Pool

Birding with York Count Audubon Society group this morning we identified three juvenile Yellow-crowned Night Herons (YCNH) at Great Pond from First Street (granite bench area), Biddeford Pool, Biddeford. Previous reports have shown one YCNH. This morning, however, we had three visible at the same time. Additionally, we saw 3 juvenile, 1 first summer, and at least 2 adult Black-crowned Night Herons at this location. Frequently we could get the two species in the same spotting scope for easy comparison.

The birds are across the pond so spotting scopes are extremely helpful.
