On 24 August 1971 John Revill, then a seasonal aide at Honey Lake State Wildfowl Management Area, Lassen County, found an adult plumaged Louisiana Heron (Hydranassa tricolor) at Hartson Reservoir on the Dakin Unit of the area, near the northwest corner of Honey Lake. By carefully stalking the bird on his hands and knees, he was able to obtain the accompanying photograph (Fig. 1).
