The Night Heron hatchlings from last week are now wide awake, clamoring for attention and food. You can see them in the following photos and the two short videos at the end of this post.
Newborn Yellow-crowned Night Herons.
Yellow-crowned Night Heron mother: “Open wide!”
One Yellow-crowned Night Heron nest still had a few more eggs to hatch.
I finally located a Black-crowned Night Heron nest.

Sometimes there may be 5 or 6 hatchlings in a nest. That’s why the parents keep adding more branches.

The babies are so ugly that their cute. The nests are huge, kind of gives you an idea of what the place looked like in prehistoric times. Wonderful images and video.
