Hi all, 

I was at the Riley Pond on Highway 20 this morning, returning from a Malheur 
weekend. There was a Black-crowned Night-heron that 
flew to some bushes beyond the pond. On its way, a smaller bird in the grasses 
stretched its head up toward it. At first I thought maybe 
Bittern from the profile and brown streaks but it really didn't seem big 
enough. When I was able to view my photos on the computer, 
I think it had to have been a juvenile Night-heron, but would appreciate some 
confirmation. 
I am sharing my not incredible pictures here:

Happy birding,
