Tehag, need help
or from any other person who can help.
I posted the pictures of these birds on a small trip report so I apologize for the re-post, but I really need to know what they are.
I checked the Baja Bird site that Tehag recommends, and may have identified one of them, but not sure. The other one I can not find at all. They
were both at Campo Rene in BCS.
The closest I could find is the Black Crowned Night Heron??????
and this one I just could not find a picture that matched.
Thanks for the help.
Diana

Birds
Juvenile black-crowned night heron and reddish egret. Really gorgeous egret shot.

Could also be the yellow crowned night heron. I've keyed them out at Camp Rene.
This map shows not very clearly that they winter in your waters. I've seen them there in June as well.

Great shots Diane. What is the great Baja bird site that Tehag recommends? Please. I would like to look at it.

heron
Skipjack, it's about the bill. The yellow-crowned night heron's bill is much darker and heavier. That's the yellow-crowned on the right.

That's not a big difference Tom. I will bet you that I can take pictures of those two same birds under different lighting conditions and different
backgrounds and you will confuse the two.
Page 114 of Peterson's Guide:
Immature Yellow Crowned Night Heron: Similar to youn Black-Crown; duskier, more finely streaked and spottier.
Yellow-Crowned Voice: quok! or quark!
Black-Crowned Voice: quark!
Did you listen carefully, Diane?
I'm told you have to walk the right way when birding. Quark!

You mean I caused this dispute because I was not walking correctly? I was just sitting on the patio in front of the Campo Rene Restaurant. And he
was very shy and made not noise. He did not want to have a conversation.
OK, next time I will make sure I am moving and in the correct fashion and listen real carefully

Just walk away, Renee
Oh, I agree with you, Diane. That's a dandy place to watch birds.
Looks like he's spotted one now.

It is an amazing place. That is a really cute picture. While I know it had to be from a few years ago, I swear the chipped paint on the patio looks
exactly the same, but your model has aged a bit.

Anybody know what kind of bird this is? Some sort of hawk I assume. He's been hanging around the house lately.

good shot woody!
I live on a bluff and watching my bird of prey hover in the updraft looking for critters below is really something.
