A Yellow crowned night heron was photographed last Saturday at Duffins Creek, Ajax and posted on Facebook. The bird was re-found yesterday but not confirmed until today. I just saw the bird briefly hunkered down with some other Herons. It flushed a short distance to a tree.
To see the bird a scope may be necessary. Take the Westney exit of the 401 and head south. Turn right on Lake Driveway and follow road around. There are 3 spots you may be able to look for bird. The first is across from 176 Lake Driveway - there’s a spot to see into the creek. The second spot is further down the road turn right into Rotary Park and park at boat launch and look north. The other potential spot is from the bridge crossing the creek at south end of Rotary Park. Good luck!
