Post by: winz on March 11, 2013, 08:32:47 PM

Going through some shots taken on Oahu last year.  Can anyone ID this bird?

looks like an immature Night-heron but due to location it might be something else, but still would be in night heron family of some sort

Hi.  Did you take this photo at the Honolulu Zoo?  I loved it there - a major "fix" of birds from all over the World!   :D
