At least one and possibly both of the Little Blue Herons were present a short time ago in Corner Corner's pond at 45045 Fruit Ridge Line near Sparta.
About 35-40 minutes ago, I inadvertently flushed one of the birds while walking along the trail on the east of the pond. The bird glided across the pond to the west side and turned north towards the bridge before I lost it. It did not appear to me to be heading out of the pond as it was flying fairly low. Mary Carnahan (the original finder of the birds) happened to be on the opposite (west) side of the pond at the same time and also saw it. Mary advised to me that it then circled and headed toward the south end of the pond. Mary also indicated to me that she may have also had the second bird; although I only saw one, she had a much better vantage point of the pond from where she stood. It didn't appear as though the bird I saw was panicked so my feeling is that both birds may likely still be present.
