[TN-Bird] Yellow-crowned Night-Heron, Greene Co., TN

Today at around 2 pm, I flushed a juvenile Yellow-crowned Night-Heron out of 
the creek.  It landed in a nearby catalpa tree, where it remained for several 
minutes before descending to the creek again.  At about 6 pm Don Miller joined 
me for another look.  We found the bird perched in the same catalpa tree, and 
viewed it for a long while, and from various angles, from about 50 ft.  After 
Don Miller left, I went back and took several photos.  It changed limbs once, 
but was still in the tree when I left.  It looked like it could be a first 
year bird, with a couple of downy plumes sticking out the top of its head.
