    11x14 inches. Watercolor on paper. This painting is based on some field sketches and photos I took of a bird at the Manayunk Canal and Towpath in Philadelphia last week.

    note: photos posted in appreciation of the fine people who run Bird Forum and the wonderful members! One more thing-it is possible this is a black-crowned juvenile. I have been guilty of mis-identification of juvenile night-herons before.
