Last night I posted the sighting of two "juvenile" Black-crowned Night-Herons at Van Dyne Spoor Road. John Gregoire correctly pointed out to me that it is early for "juvenile" Night-Herons. What I should have said was "young" or "first summer". The birds were uniformly tan/light-brown in body and wings with no prominent breast streaking and lacking two-toned wing feathers (thus ruling out American Bittern).
