Observation details

Known location. Apparent adult standing at pond edge. Smaller than adjacent Great Blue Herons. Similar in size to Black-crowned Night-Heron, but perhaps a little lankier. Obvious pale yellow crown, with black mask and white lower cheek. Grayish body, with wings appearing somewhat darker bluish-gray with intricate black markings. Pretty clear views, but my photos came out poorly.
