Several weeks ago, I visited Bombay Hook near Smyrna, Delaware. It's my kind of place since they have several miles of dirt roads with good habitat on both sides of the road. When one sees something, they can just stop, get out, and set up their tripod. Others shoot directly from the window. On this occasion, as I was driving around, I noticed a number of white "spots" off in the distance. I just assumed that the Snowy Egrets perhaps have arrived. Much to my surprise, it was a large flock of Black-crowned Night Herons. It was in excess of 20. Here is one photo which shows a bunch of them.
