Yellow Crowned Night Heron Family by Aimee Grace

Description

The Yellow Crowned Night Herons in our area build their nests on the limbs of trees that stretch out over the canal on which I live. Every year they return to the nest and start a new family. In this shot, one of the soon to be fledglings wanted the parents attention and was growing impatient waiting for it. He stood up and stretched and the parent did indeed turn around to see what the fuss was. In this case, the fuss was still fuzz and made for an adorable picture.
