- Comments: "Uncommon in the park, and a patch bird for me :)  Reported this afternoon by Chris M. Small blue heron with dark blue head and down-curved blue bill with dark tip. Was on the north side of three sisters, seen from a distance across the lake, and then a bit better from behind the island."
