I’m all too thrilled to see this black crowned night heron sticking around in Red Butte Garden. I believe this individual may be an adult male, more than three years old. I make this judgement based on the long, white plumage on the head and lack of juvenile streaking. I wonder if he’s built a nest somewhere?
