Different day, different canal. This immature Black Crowned Night Heron was sitting on a pipe not more than 8 feet away when we stopped. He didn't wait for me to get my camera out of the bag.
This is Harold. We met him over a month ago at our favorite pizza joint. He has a car carrier and we immediately harassed him about bringing snow bird vehicles to FL. He told us he did that once and would never do it again. He hauls new cars for dealerships. He parks his rig behind Green Cay. We caught him right after he pulled in yesterday.
