Yellow-crowned night herons

Here is a pair of adults near the nest, perhaps biding their time until sunset, when they might set out for a crab dinner.

Fairly rare and reclusive among herons, I rarely see these. From a while back, I do have a few images of them on the ground, in my virtual rookery @

Many other birds nesting there, & in my Flickr album: https://flic.kr/s/aHsmgd9Zde
