right on. cool spotting. the last pic looks just like the guy in my photo. thanks!

hmmm, I'm sure you know more than I do, but there were several other Black-crowned Night Herons there....and they looked very different. White/grey with "black crowns" of course.

So this one is a juvenile? It was easily as big as the adults...

thanks for your help!

That's it! Thank you...
And yes, it's still alive. From trap to bucket to dock for the photo...then flipped it back in the canal.
