Spotted this Heron on a cluster of branches in the lake to the NW. Cache is reachable, no hilly attempt necessary. Look for the most interesting tree on the river side of the Clear Creek Trail.

With a range that spans five continents, including much of North America, the Black-crowned Night-Heron is the most widespread heron in the world. It is most active at dusk and at night, feeding in the same areas that other heron species frequent during the day.

Medium-sized, stocky heron. Short neck and thick black bill. Black cap and back. Wings gray. Underparts white.

Out with NTM this afternoon grabbing caches. We took on about 5.5 miles total and found 9/12 caches. There was still a good amount of snow on the grab, but that did not affect us for the most part. Thanks for all the caches.

I had a hard time reaching it. I think you did that on porpoise. Thank you for placing this cache and helping to keep our recreation going.

After some shopping at Bass Pro Shops on my day off from work, I decided to tote along my bike for some riding and caching afterwards. I rode about twelve miles and grabbed a dozen or so caches. Not too many muggles this afternoon, but definitely some shady people around here. TFTC!

Near the end of a long, fun day caching with benj59 and T&A137 and I was dragging. Needless to say, the other two found this one before I had even begun my search. At least they didn't leave me behind altogether. Thanks for the fun hide.

Out on the trail with FearTheFish and T&A137. Glad to make this find amidst so many other DNFs. Took the wrong approach at first but coming up on the correct side spotted it quickly. All is good here.

Found with Cachly app for iOS

I spent the day caching from Florence to Denver taking a bit of a long route so I could find caches in some new counties. I had good weather and for the most part good traffic and even better, good caches.
Went for a bike ride and found this one.
Thanks for the fun!
