Photo of a juvenile black-crowned night heron (a short, sturdy heron--about the size of a bipedal house cat--with streaky brown and white markings, cinnabar eyes, and gawky yellow legs and bill) standing in right-facing profile on the metal railing of a river dam in midge-flooded sunlight against a backdrop of metal dam structures hoary with webs so fluffy with midges you might mistake them for dandelion clocks.
