Yellow Crowned Night Heron

I found several of these at a wetlands preserve while visiting Jordan in Murfreesboro, TN. However, in theory, we might spot one at the farm some day.

Just not yet, so far as I know. Perhaps the farm pond is not a big enough wetland area to attract them. This is a fine, striking bird whose yellow "cap" on his head is much brighter than it appears in this photo.
