Yellow-crowned Night-Heron (Juvenile) (Nyctanassa violacea)

While preparing breakfast we looked out the window of the camper and saw this early morning visitor walling around our campsite. We were able to capture many pictures of this juvenile Night-Heron, here is one we hope you enjoy.

This photo was taken at Curry Hammock State Park, near the city of Marathon on the Florida Keys.
