[Maine-birds] Yellow-crowned Night-heron

I stopped by Great Pond in Biddeford Pool this morning & scanned the
back side with my binos. There was a heron in one of the trees that
looked a little different but I couldn't well through the foliage with
binos what it was so I set up my scope. As I was doing this the heron
flew down to an open limb right above the water. Taking another look I
realized it was a juv Yellow-crowned Night-heron. It had a stout black
bill, small white spots & longer legs & neck then the Black-crowned
Night -herons also there. I got my camera from the car but it had
dropped to the side of the pond in the shadows making for some darkish
photos. i haven't looked at them on the computer yet. They might be
better than I think.
There were also 4 Black-crowned Night-herons, 2 adults, a first summer &
a juv. along with 5 Snowy Egrets & 2 Great Egrets.
