Well, I'll be! I learned something, too. Shucks, before we're done, we'll have Craig wondering if he even saw a bird!
Al, ever photographed a Snowy up there? Would probably have great habitat included.

I checked the MN Ornithologists' Union occurrence maps and Snowy sightings seem centered in west-central MN, along the MN and Red Rivers, and I don't get down there in summer. My best chance would be in SW Manitoba when we make a bird trip there in May. But again, though they are reported occasionally, it would be no sure thing to go out and find one. Al

ardeekay Cream of the Crop More info | Checking Wikipedia, I would agree with you, Eric, YCNH. But again, real iffy. But have never seen either variety out in broad daylight feeding. As name indicates, somewhat “evening prone”. Rog

Aug 03, 2018 17:18 | #22 Well, I seem to be spotting 2 or 3 different birds here.  Next is from today. This one seems to be bigger than the one spotted on the 2nd, but perspective may have played a role, since it's on the fence rail on my side of the pond instead of the opposite. This one also appears more juvenile to me, with the mottled plumage and lack of refining marks. I somehow suspect it's the first one I shot, though I cannot possibly be certain. 50D, ISO 800, 1/400, Soligor 400/6.3 @ f/11  which makes an obvious difference in overall image quality.

I believe that it's a Yellow-Crowned Night Heron juvenile. The Black-Crowned juvenile has a darker head. Additionally, the Yellow-Crowned has longer legs and a shorter bill.
