Black-Crowned Night-Heron Along the Trail
As we strolled a trail at Circle B Bar Reserve near Lakeland, Florida, we were surprised when we saw this juvenile black-crowned night-heron sitting on a branch in the open near the trail. He blends into the background so well in real-time that we considered ourselves very lucky to have noticed him. He sat and observed us for several minutes. He will grow to be about 25 inches (64 cm) from beak-tip to tail-tip.
