Apologies To This Particular Heron - Tumblr Posts

A juvenile Yellow Crested Night Heron standing on the bush outside of a (dirty) window, looking simultaneously very dangerous and also very muppet. It has red orange round eyes and a devastating triangular yellow beak tipped in brown. Its feathers are dark brown with lighter brown flecks, and it has a crown of yellow-y tan feathers atop its head a bit like a feathery toupee. It is facing off to the side here but very much sees me. Help.

[gulp]

Another photo of the juvenile night heron, but here it is looking directly at me behind the glass. The face on shot is further evidence of how much of a muppet these guys are when they are baby.
The camera is zoomed in so the photo is not high quality, but I didn't want to freak this baby out too much. We didn't use our front door until it could fly back up to its nest.

oh no

The juvenile night heron is now looking directly into the window, crouching as if ready to extend its neck into the closest target. If I were one to anthropomorphize birds' facial expressions, I'd say this fella is threatening to call my manager. Its facial feathers just above its beak make it appear like it is furrowing its brows and glaring at me.

HELP!!!!!!
