Young Black-crowned Night Heron

Taken on a swamp trail not often used. The Night Herons have started to nest back here this spring. I had forgotten until I spotted this juvenile.

I think this bird would be just starting out on his own. I looked for adults but didn’t see any. He was absolutely beautiful.

He never moved at all. They survive at this age by being so well camouflaged.
