With all the mountain ranges closed due to fires or fire hazards, I have to look at other places for wildlife opportunities. So, this morning at 5:30 I headed over to Lakeside Park here in Tucson. Since it is a Saturday, and there are fish in the lake, I wasn't close to being the first one there. But, no matter, the Black Crowned Night Herons didn't seem to mind. I found an adult (presumably the mother) with two babies. Well, babies really aren't the right term because they are nearly the size of their mother now. But, they still have their juvenile plumage. Here are some of those photos:
