Nice catch...!!!!

I think it may be a juvenile Yellow crowned Night heron.....it takes a while for the color on the forhead to come in...

Fabulous shot, although I don't think it's a night heron.

Thanks Tracy, I've learned something new today.
It looks very different from our juvenile Night Heron http://www.fotothing.com/bennystr/photo/215cf4e9363f38f1412904b083c14074/

Yes Bennystr, I believe there are several varieties of night heron. Yours is most beautiful!
