The Tricolored Heron was still present (upper Niagara Falls) as of 5pm
tonight, August 10
Great directions, described below by Kayo Roy, are still accurate.

DIRECTIONS:
Once in Niagara Falls drive along the Niagara Parkway above the Falls to
Dufferin Island. Lots of tourists there at this time of the year and
parking can be a real problem. Go to the south entrance road to Dufferin
Island and park here. IT IS FREE. Walk back across the Parkway towards the
Falls and look for the small GATE HOUSE HYDRO building (less than a 5 minute
walk). It is just south of the much larger old Toronto Hydro Building
(sometimes called the Engineerium building). There is a little parkette
between these two buildings....walk along the NORTH side of Gate House
building to the river edge. Look for the park bench closest to this small
building, the heron was opposite this bench feeding on small fish standing
on some very close shoreline rocks.

Didn't see a post today, so thought I'd let you know that it was at it's
usual rock (I presume) at noon today.
