I might have thought this was an immature great blue heron if it weren't for the bright red eyes. The eyes were much more red than the photo shows. Anyone know what it might be? Thanks, Kurt Horsley

I'm going to guess it is an immature Yellow-crowned Night Heron. It looks pretty close to the drawing in Sibley's (page 65). Pretty cool looking bird.
