Observation details
I live on a small lake that has a lot of old trees around the bank. For two years an adult Yellow-crowned Night Heron has come to my backyard and nested around the lake. This year I photographed a juvenile YCNH in my front yard on 07/28/2023. I have been photographing both the adult and the juvenile regularly. as it now resides at the lake that abuts my backyard. I photographed it sitting together with its parent on 09/15/2023 . I know that YCNHs are summer birds in Oklahoma but this young bird is still residing at this location! I watch it daily from my kitchen window.
