| A junior night heron |
August 12th: This is a young Black-Crowned Night Heron looking for fish this morning. These herons are much smaller than Great Blue Herons, and usually don't do much fishing when it is bright outside. Perhaps the false promise of a cloudy day brought him out. They have also been known to indulge in a bit of cannibalism when young. There are more details and pictures on my website,http://www.torontonature.com/nightherons.php.
