At 7:30 this a.m. I went down to Lake Cunningham to check on the nesting 
herons located on the southern most island in the lake.
http://www.ci.san-jose.ca.us/prns/regionalparks/lcp/map.jpg

There are 4 Great Egret nests visible from the walking path on the 
eastern side (closest approach). 3 seem to be incubating and one just 
acts like it. A Snowy Egret looks like it is trying to nest in an old 
Black-crown Night heron nest location. I saw 24 BCNH chicks in 16 
different nests locations. The more I looked the more I saw. Most nests 
had 2 chicks, a few had only 1. I also saw 2 adult birds who appeared to 
be incubating eggs.

Other families swimming in the lake were Mallards, Canadian Geese and 
Pied-billed grebes.
I think I saw a female Hooded Oriole, but it flew before I was able to 
get a good look. I have them coming to my feeder so its possible.

Here are some pictures. Sorry its not good it took me an hour or so to 
figure out how to make a webpage.
