Eric was cleaning up outside and I was getting the kids ready for bed when he called excitedly that there was a new bird in the brook. We raced outside and watched this bird for about 1/2 hour. It stood mostly still, and did catch at least 1 fish. Unfortunately, it was dusk so I wasn't able to get a clear camera shot, even with my zoom and a tripod. Any help on identifying this bird would be appreciated (Brian!!!) Our best guess is that it's a Black Crowned Night Heron, but at a different stage of development than the last one we saw. This one had more blue plumage.
The bird (whatever it was) set back bedtime about an hour, but hey, it's summer, and birds are beautiful.
