An Immature Yellow-Crowned Night-Heron at the Casco Bay Lines Terminal

While waiting for a water taxi I saw a bird fly in that looked like an immature gull at first, but flew like a heron. I got a good look at it and it was a young YCNH. It hung out until a water taxi pulled up and then it took off. I originally thought it was a Black-Crowned Night-Heron, but Joanne S. suggested it may be a YCNH. I contacted Derek at www.freeportwildbirdsupply.com and he confirmed it for me.
