JimGT Posted September 3, 2018 Author Share Posted September 3, 2018 Thanks for your help. What identifying marks led you to a yellow-crowned instead of a black-crowned? The juveniles look so similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HamRHead Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 In favor of Yellow-crowned Night-Heron: -Blunt, All Gray bill -Lots of fine white spots on back and wings. Here is a good page for exploring the two species: https://www.birdzilla.com/bird-identification/id-skill-development/bird-families/egrets-herons-similar/juvenile-night-heron-comparison.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
