I took this yesterday on the Chicago River. There were LOTS of Black Crowned Night Herons around. I am not sure if this is a Juvi BCNH or possibly a Green Heron.

Thanks for any help

You're right, juvenile Black-crowned Night Heron.

Thanks for the help, Steve. I have only shot one Green Heron around here and it has been two years. There are MANY of the BCNH along the industrial stretches of the Chicago river.

We also saw at least a dozen Belted Kingfishers along the river.
