I took this photo at San Diego Wild Animal Park, but their website doesn't contain any info about the bird. |

My wife just found it in one of her Audubon books.
It looks like a Black-crowned Night-Heron. It says mainly nocturnal though, so interesting that you got that in broad daylight. |

| I did some research through google and found it to be a Large Fingered Yellow Big Bird. They usually inhabit shitty neighborhoods around the New Jersey area. |

| Completely hi-jacking this thread, when I was a kid, we used to get Sesame Street about 5 years after the US did, however, I used to be absolutely shit-scared of "The Count". Oscar kinda freaked me out as well. |

| Well since it's already hi-jacked and he did get to identify his bird. My mother & father stood in line for 3 hours for my brother to meet the cookie monster in person, which he loved! They get to the front of the line and I guess b/c he is way bigger in person than the muppet on TV he freaks out and runs away crying, scared shitless. 3 hours for nothing!!!lol. He is 34 now and I still give him shit about that story. |

Mine was taken at the Lake Merritt National Wildelife Refuge in downtown Oakland, the first wildlife refuge in North America.
