I really only wanted to post once to this group because it sends emails to
over 1,000 birders.
 
The link I sent out yesterday pointed to two pages containing errors.
 
The first error was obvious - the Phalarope was a Red-Necked, not a
Wilson's.
Even I knew this but for some reason I wrote its title wrong.
 
now for the juvenile Night-Herons:
 
The first Night-Heron I saw I correctly ID'd it as a Yellow-crowned. I added
it to my eBird report.
The next Night-Heron's I saw included two adult Black-crowned and a
juvenile.
Ah - without thinking, I must have been wrong and without checking, changed 
my eBird report to juvenile Black-crowned.
 
After posting the link, Peter Post told me the juvenile was a
Yellow-crowned.
That made me feel good - I put it back to its original and fixed the eBird
report.
 
Then I added a picture showing all three Night-Herons.
 
Then Hugh McGuinness told me the rightmost juvenile in the picture of three
was in fact a Black-crowned.
At the time I was down in the river with my iPhone hunting for shore birds
and was very confused.
 
I came home and studied the pictures and Crossley's - Well, how about that!
I had seen TWO juveniles.
 
I seriously THANK Peter and Hugh for helping me get these straight.
 
The pictures and their titles should now be correct:
