Oheart, how gorgeous.I have never seen one that young, but I think you are right in thinking that this is a White-faced Heron. It must be capable of flying if it's on the roof. Did you see any parents?

i saw the mother fly in for a moment but she didnt stay around , she had the little one with her on our roof and i couldnt see her properly, the last photo of the slightly bigger bird was on the antenna of a neigbours roof, there where two and they stayed there for ages.

the lighting was bad so i kept watching them hoping the light would get better and it did , i have taken some more photos of the little ones i will post.

and the youngest White-faced Heron that I have seen

I am very jealous of this sighting for the obvious reason

could this be its mother and i saw a large bird ,was wondering if the male heron stays around .

they arrived at dawn and the lightning was horrible so i just watched them as the sun came up i scouted and looked for photo spots as it got lighter i took photos, then i heard a thump on our roof then i looked around and saw the baby one,

i was so wrapped to watch them all ,
