Young Black-Crowned Night Heron

When we were at the Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge I noticed this young Black-crowned Night-Heron along the Wildlife Drive. There are a few areas along the drive that seem to be a popular spot for them to usually be there to get a few photos. They are also one of my favorite birds to photograph, especially when they are searching for a meal.

  Thank You! I added the adult one fishing also which was out in the water in front of the immature one. One of my favorite birds to photograph! Besides Eagles & Ospreys!
