Steve beat me to the news. Not a bad article, for what it is. The Courier is free paper that has several editions tailored for various Brooklyn neighborhoods. The article is edited slightly differently in each paper; the second one down uses one of my photos, and the online edition is significantly longer than the hardcopy version I picked up on my way to work today.

And the plot thickens. The bird has been frustrating to some, seen on Sunday and Monday, disappearing on Tuesday, back on Wednesday, but not yesterday. Now comes this report:

Subject: Western Reef-heron

The latest New Jersey RBA mentions a report of a Western Reef-Heron "flying by Sandy Hook's Horseshoe Cove at 3:30 pm Jul 9." As I recall the reef-heron was seen on that date (last Monday) and around that time in Brooklyn. Anybody know how close to 3:30 pm the bird was seen in Brooklyn? It would be interesting to know how long it took to get from Brooklyn to Sandy Hook. Or, are there two different birds?
