Update 2013.05.20 - Got another shot of the heron on a different stretch of the river. I have twice seen what might be a juvenile heron but have not gotten a photograph of it.

Yellow-crowned Night-Heron
We saw this Yellow-crowned Night-Heron down on the San Gabriel River this evening. We often see a Great Blue Heron at the river but this species is a first. The hill-country is not in its range. It has year-round residence on the gulf coast and summer breading in north Texas. I assume this one is migrating through between these two areas. I was not able to get any closer before it flew off. Canon 200mm f/4.0 ISO-1000.
