Bird Photos: Rarities: Yellow-crowned Night-Heron

This bird was found by Ron Thorn on 7/23/02 at the Coyote Point Marina, San Mateo, CA. At the time of this sighting, it was apparently the 2nd San Mateo County record and the 3rd Northern California record. It was seen for one more day and seemed to have departed by the 3rd day.

   
 

I got these shots on 7/24/02. The bird spent time in the marina roosting on yachts and feeding on the mudflats and rip-rap at the marina entrance.
