268. Yellow-crowned Night-heron

Date         June 20, 2015
Location    field behind Ripley's museum, Grand Prairie, TX




So there are ones you plan for and investigate and seek out, like the Painted Bunting, and then there are those that just drop in your lap. Sort of. I mean, I was on the lookout, as always, and I saw something unfamiliar, so we stopped to investigate.

We were just leaving the museum when we spotted a few of these birds just hanging out in the swampy field behind the building. I didn't have binoculars with me, but we did have a nice camera, so my wife managed to get some good pictures to aid in identification.
