Wonderful series, Daan! The detail you captured is great.

Its a juvenile Black crowned night heron.

Oh, thanks! Haven't seen a juvenile one before. There's an adult black crowned heron that hangs out by the waterfront near here. I guess it is used to people now...I saw a guy hand feeding it slices of deli meat. Didn't have my cam with me, sadly.
