Agua Caliente, Tucson, Arizona

Agua Caliente is about 4 miles from The Azure Gate B&B. It is often overlooked by birders.  In the next couple of days I'll share some photos I've taken there. First up: Herons, starting with the Black Crowned. 

Christopher Columbus Lake on the West Side of Tucson, is also a good spot for Black Crowned Night Herons, as is Lakeside Park about 5 miles south of us. But, Agua Caliente is the subject today and below are photos of the Black Crowned Night Heron in both the juvenile and adult plumage:
