Friday Feathers
Here are a few photographs of the Yellow Crowned Night Heron. The photos were taken prior to my "big baby" episode; you know, before I was attacked by the Canadian Goose.
According to What Bird.com:
The Yellow-crowned Night Heron is listed as threatened in the state of New Jersey and endangered in Wisconsin and Pennsylvania.
A group of herons has many collective nouns, including a "battery", "hedge", "pose", "rookery", and "scattering" of herons."

Another superb photo to add to your set. Geese are horrible birds - they terrify me.

Very handsome! I love herons. All sorts of them. Okay, maybe not the huge nesting groups that poop on my head at the Wild Animal Park, but individually, they rock.
