A report of a juvenile Black-crowned Night-Heron on Lingle Road on the Morgan-Owen county line provided my birding plans today, since I have never seen one in Indiana before. After some fruitless searching I managed to see it at a small pond about a half mile from where it was reported. It sat for a few minutes in a willow tree, then flew off toward the southwest. BLACK-CROWNED NIGHT-HERON is Indiana state bird number 222, year bird number 203.
