| Adult black-crowned night heron |
These herons do not fit the typical body form of the heron family. They are relatively stocky with shorter bills, legs, and necks than their more familiar cousins the egrets and "day" herons.
What I photographed the other day was an immature bird - a juvenile with its numerous pale spots and yellowish-green legs.
Glad that's settled - and that it's Friday too - aren't you?
