Yellow-crowned Night Heron juvs. 21-08-04

Photos of these two juveniles were taken in Duxbury, MA an hour before a low (8.3ft) high tide just west of the Bluefish River culvert under Washington St. The birds were about 20 yards apart, each against the bank not moving about. [Taken from the car on Anchorage Lane with Canon PowerShot SX70 HS]

Field marks clearly separating from juvenile Black-crowned Night Heron include long legs with tail just to the knees, thick dark bill, small spots on wings, narrowish breast streaks.
