I planned a trip for today to the Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens to see if 
the YCNH was still around.  When I read in the paper this morning that 
there was a Water Lily and Lotus Asian Culture Festival there today, I 
almost didn't go. 

I avoided the crowds there to photograph the flowers, taking the River 
Trail, which produced a few birds, but no YCNH.  Returning to my 
starting point, in the restored marsh nearest the parking there stood 
one juvenile Yellow-Crowned Night Heron, not far from the trail.  Success!

The blossoms were also awesome, and it turned out that there was another 
juvenile YCNH posing near the far end of the central pools.

Great egret

Blue-gray gnatcatcher
Wood duck
