Black Crowned Night Heron (Juvenile)

Nycticorax nycticorax

Notes:

This little guy has been sitting on the ground below a large oak tree for about a week. There are a few nests above..in the tree overhead. Although I don't see any other herons that young, there are several sitting in the trees of varying ages. I suppose its alright. It was fairly approachable and healthy looking. .
