Black-Crowned Night Heron

We decided to go back to Sweetwater and try to locate the Hooded Merganser that we could see in one of my pictures but were unsuccessful. We did however get to see this Black-Crowned Night Heron as well as a Great Blue Heron and the Great Egret! www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Black-crowned_Night-Heron/lifehistory
Other birds that we spotted were Ruby-Crowned Kinglets, Black Phoebes, Vermilion Flycatcher, Bufflehead, Blue-Winged Teal, Cinnamon Teal, Northern Shoveler, American Wigeon, Yellow Rumped Warbler, Yellow Warbler, Ring-Necked Duck, Mallards, American Coot, Yellow-Headed Blackbirds, Great Tailed Grackles, Gambel's Quail, Flicker and Roadrunner.
