I live near Juneau Towers, last summer we had a family of very vocal birds making a home outside of our window. Their peak enjoyment seemed to be the daily 3am “OUAKKKK” followed by a “click click click click”. After a ton of research, we deduced these were black-crowned night-herons that made their nest, then left in the fall.

This evening, I noticed two of them are back! Is this normal behavior for herons to nest in the middle of a city?? I am so delighted to see they are back, but I understand they are typically found in wetlands?
