I was just sitting there ready to pack it in because there was very little activity. Heard a whoosh to my right and there he was sitting on a tree limb 10 feet or so from me. All alone, no sign of a parent around. He stayed for a good half hour and then went on passed me to another tree fall further along the shoreline. I left him undisturbed, hoping that he wasn't just lost. I'll check again in the morning to see how he got along.

What I believe you have in this wonderful set is a first year Yellow Crowned Night Heron. Nick work.

Keep us posted on it's progress if it does stick around on your pond.
Let's hope that it's curiosity doesn't get it into trouble with the local wildlife, or loose dogs.
I stumbled across a dead GBH, last year that was likely killed by either an unleashed dog or a coyote.

Thank you, you did a fantastic job with the young Heron. Looks like it missed the wetlands by a bit
