[Birdtalk] Yellow-crowned Night-Heron in the house, part 2

[Mark Stackhouse]

Looks like the word is getting around amongst the night-herons about  
to nice new "digs" just up the street.

This morning as my wife was about to take Daniela to school, she found  
that her bike on the front porch was already occupied by another  
(looks like a different individual to me) fledgling Yellow-crowned  
Night-Heron sitting on the handlebars. It didn't flee right away, but  
simply climbed to the top of the iron work, where it spent most of the  
morning watching me work at my computer through the open front door. A  
short time ago it left, and was last seen heading down the sidewalk  
towards the rookery tree.

Maybe I should be charging these guys for lodging :-).
