This juvenile Yellow-crowned Night-Heron is on Duffins Creek in
Rotary Park, Ajax, east of Toronto. This visitor from the south is
rare in Ontario. It is similar to Black-crowned Night-Heron except
its bill is darker, wider and shorter and its streaks on the front
are narrower and more well-defined. We hope it stays for a while.
Many thanks to Charmaine Anderson for letting everyone know. 22
