Yellow Crowned Night Heron

Nyctanassa violacea

Habitat:

Nyctanassa violacea

Notes:

These two birds were spotted together, therefore same spotting and I am assuming that the bird in the last photo is either a female or a juvenile. Anyone correct me if I'm wrong. Thanks.

Thanks for the comments ForestDragon and kdpicturemaker. Agree, the immature looks quite different except for that awesome red eye:) Thanks for the link ForestDragon!
