Night Heron in Toronto

My girlfriend and I were hanging out in the Brickworks area of the Don Valley in Toronto when we saw this heron on a log.

The Brickworks has a plethora of species, and this is the only time I have ever seen a night heron.

The bird was motionless, as far as I can recall.

I took this photo back in the summer of 2017.

I would encourage birders and naturalists to take a visit to the Brickworks, because of the fecundity of its flora and fauna.

Thanks for sending your great picture!
