Young and Awkward... (Ardea herodius)

I was walking on the boardwalk at Anhinga Trail in the early morning when this juvenile flew in right in front of me and almost missed the landing. As she/he was regaining their footing, I grabbed this image while still fluffed. The very early side/back light accentuated the feathers. Sometimes, we get lucky!
