These young Yellow Crowned Night Heron's are getting ready to leave the nest soon. They are in a very tight fitting nest and as there are three of them. Wonder if the parents do this on purpose so that they will leave the nest and seek their own food.

Carol, these are so nice, like the last one the best, they do look like it's almost time to earn their own living.

Thank you Sandy, they are behind the library in OB in an old oak tree if you want to see them before they are gone.
