A flock of Black-crowned Night-Herons have been roosting around the big pond at Charleston’s Magnolia Cemetery.

Every time someone walked underneath them, or sometimes for no apparent reason, they flew off.

A few minutes later they would fly back in ones and twos, putting on quite a show.

I’ve seen a few Black-crowned Night-Herons in this location before, but on Sunday estimated at least 30 to 40 birds. There may have been more that just staying tucked into the trees.
