Immature Yellow Crowned Night Heron

This bird was about 12 feet away when I photographed it through our patio door. I think that it might have fledged within two weeks. Our neighborhood is just two miles from the largest airport in the country and is densely populated. I have no idea why this family showed up in this area. They are very enjoyable to watch as they chase after insects in our lawn.

Nice image. Maybe they are urban birds. They like the city life with no competition.

This was a bit later this morning. Still don't know where the nest was.

Amazing visitors, Ron, and beautiful shots! I'd love to have a family like this one in my yard.
