Where's my breakfast?
Answer

Black-crowned Night-Heron
Nycticorax nycticorax

Bihoreau ŕ couronne noire (French)
Yaboa real, Guanaba, Guaco (Spanish)

With a range that spans five continents, including much of North America, the Black-crowned Night-Heron is the most widespread heron in the world. It is most active at dusk and at night, feeding in the same areas that other heron species frequent during the day.

Cool Facts
Young Black-crowned Night-Herons often disgorge their stomach contents when disturbed. This habit makes it easy to study its diet.
The Black-crowned Night-Heron may nest in the same tree with ibises or other herons.
Adult Black-crowned Night-Herons apparently do not distinguish between their own young and those from other nests, and will brood chicks not their own.

Hi Manyee,

This photo very interesting, full of character and the ability to convey the essence of the behavior of birds. Excellent color, very good lighting and perfect details. I welcome the composition well distributed between left and right together. Good frame, somewhat sober, but perfectly adapted to the photo. Thanks for the note and include the link to the source of information.

Regards,

Jesús

Hello Manyee,
This is a terrific capture showing the beautiful Night Heron with its not exactly beautiful offspring!! I love the adult though with its red eyes and smooth plumage. Great focus on both, sharp details and beautiful light and colours.
TFS and best wishes, Ulla
