What kind of crane/ heron is this?

Miss Nerdy · Jul 16, 2011

We have a koi pond, and that attracted some cranes(?). I live in Oklahoma. (XD I'm on a completely unrelated forum asking about this :lol:

) I think it may not be an adult yet. (Anyone know what sandhill cranes look like as juveniles??)

Here's the picture:

My neighbor noticed it and took a bunch of pictures this morning. My dad is really pushing me to find out what kind it is

Help would be appreciated!

I believe its an immature yellow crowned night heron. Heres wikipedia~

Night Heron

I could be wrong. Hope this helps ^-^

Anyone else have any ideas? (Thank you though
