Beobachtungsdetails
I was excited to see for myself the strange-looking juvenile heron that has been photographed here several times over the last month or two. Its plumage most closely matches a juvenile night-heron, but differences include yellow eyes, a longer bill, rusty brown in the wings, and partially dark legs and feet. It seems to walk around more and be more diurnally active than the other juvenile and adult Black-crowned Night-Herons in the surrounding reeds. This bird is currently thought to be a hybrid between one of the night-herons and a Tricolored Heron, but this is just a guess. I hope it hangs around long enough for us to see what its adult plumage looks like!
