I didn’t even know there was such a thing as a Yellow-crownded Night Heron. I had only known of Black-crowned Night Herons, but when I saw this bird as I walked along the intracoastal in West Palm Beach, I knew it was something different. I only managed to fire off a couple quick shots before it flew away.
