Yellow-crowned Night Heron
Venice, FL
I've seen only a few of these, and only in swamps and marshes, but this one seemed to be enjoying a day on a sandy Gulf beach.
Many more birds nesting in my virtual rookery (web collection) @ http://www.fenichel.com/birds
Web update of the day...
I need to add them to my rookery/web nest or I forget I've already posted them. Collection still grows. This is a variation on what I recently posted 'here' recently:
There's quite a flock on my "Birds" page now; just click/tap away & you'll see quite a few hidden away. A self-tour, via link or photo.
