Here's the parent

of yesterday's bird. Hard to believe that the juvenile night heron looks so different, but I double checked. I did get them mixed up and had the wrong tags. Sorry for that.

Not a very clear photo as it was quite a distance away and the lighting wasn't very good. (all excuses ;-)
