The Black River heron colony is located
in a 93-acre
(38
ha) park in Renton, Washington. The site contains about
135 nesting
pairs of herons. The herons forage in the the Black River Riparian
Forest(P-1 Pond and an adjacent large unnamed wetland), along
the Cedar River, Green-Duwamish River, Lake Washington shoreline, and
in a small wetland behind Columbia Distributing/Sid Eland Inc. The
colony is at risk to disturbance if a proposed nearby housing
development proceeds. An application is expected mid-January 2004 with
a final decision by Renton's hearing examiner expected by June 2004.
