Black-crowned Night-Herons, nestlings

Palo Alto Baylands

These two juveniles were on the ground under the nest-filled palm trees on the morning of April 21, where many photographers and other birders saw them. I fear they are out of the nest prematurely, as they didn't appear to have fully fledged.

I these two were attended by their mom or a vet if the parent is not there. This will make a wonderful Mother's Day card!

I did report to the park ranger on April 20 when I saw these two babies on the ground. The Ranger (black male) said he would go to check to see if they were all right.
Well...
