I don't know if it qualifies as a rookery but there is a very small island in one of the North Shore (NJ) lakes that serves as home to 20-30 or more mostly Black-crowned Night Herons. At any given time that we have been there, we have seen many of these herons hidden in the brush. These two were a little farther up in the bushes and were a little more exposed. I liked the pairing of the adult and the 1st year juvenile (note the yellow eye).
