The night before, while returning from my bike ride as it was getting dark, spotted my now older fledgling on the bank. It was too dark to try. Last night my ride was cut short as they closed the greenway (bike path) at a local park due to approaching hurricane. So, just as the sun set and twilight began, spotted my old friend on the very same bank. Same immature plumage but no longer goofy and much more wary. Used the guard rail as a blind and this young beauty went back about business. Love that large owl like pupil as this yellow-crowned night heron begins it's day.
