[Maine-birds] Yellow-crowned night-heron, Eastport

My daughters and I flushed a juvenile yellow-crowned night-heron at Hillside Cemetery in Eastport today.  We saw the bird land in a nearby spruce tree and took some photos of it.  This is the first YCNH that I've seen in Washington County.

A little while later we passed Woody Gillies and friends who were on a Fundy Chapter of Maine Audubon outing and so we stopped and led them to the night-heron. It's nice to see other birders in Eastport. 

A photo of this YCNH can be seen here:
