Heron hunting salamanders

I took my students to the Prospect Park Zoo, today, to do some research on mating systems, sexual selection and reproductive strategies. I managed to squeeze an hour of birding in at the park, hoping to catch some straggling migrants. It was pretty quiet, but I did find a lone, late Green Heron in a pool by the Music Pavilion. I saw and heard a few others, and was fooled by a vociferous chipmunk, but didn't get any other photos. Well, some at the zoo, for later.
