AMBER'S ANIMAL TALES AROUND AUSTIN VOL 03-21-09 - Yellow-Crowned Night Heron



These birds seem to show up in Central Texas every year around Spring Equinox. I took this pic at a friend's house in Austin. This bird appeared to be looking for hir mate and scouting out hir nesting site. My friend and I tried to decide whether this bird was one of a mating pair that nested at that location last year, or if this bird (and three others) were some of the grown chicks last year's mating pair hatched.
