It looked like a first winter juvenile, but I'm not sure. At 413PM, as a train rumbled loudly by, the startled GBH leapt up, soared around for 2 minutes as the train passed, and landed back on the same branch. Dusk approaching rapidly, he appeared to tuck into a sleeping stance for the night. At the same time, I noticed, true to its name, a BLACK-CROWNED NIGHT HERON stirring from his usual island pine perch, ready to take on the night. A lovely sunset too.
