Unfortunately, the pair that nest in my yard every season moved on this year, but here's one from last year of one of my favorite little guys, whom we named Busy.

Juvenile yellow crested night heron

A very dignified look. Studious. Like a cartoon owl with glasses and an English/British accent. Looks like a young bird. How tall do you think he/she is? A foot, maybe, at the most? We have a heron who lives around here (near our home, somewhere) -- so beautiful and graceful in flight and even just standing. I haven't tried to take a picture of him/her (lately)... mainly because I do not have enough patience for birding! Ships, trains and airplanes are easy.... there they are... mostly stationary or slow-moving... shoot 'em.

I'm not even sure if it's male or female - juveniles are tricky. We called him Busy because he was the first to do everything and just never stopped moving. The chicks were a little over a foot tall when they fledged.
