Post by: MikeN on September 14, 2016, 10:53:05 PM

Is this a young Black-capped Night Heron or something else. Have lots of good shots if there is a missing detail. Many thanks

Juvenile/Immature Black-crowned Night-Heron.  Bill is black and yellow and thinner than Yellow-crowned Night-Heron which has a stouter black bill.
