Are geese nocturnal?

Or is it just the ones at the Thousand Trails Campground in Menifee that are up all hours of the night, partying and carousing????

This morning, as we were getting ready to leave the camp ground, I saw a group of them sleeping (standing up on an unoccupied campsite a few down from us). I almost went to wake them up so they would be tired and sleep during the night instead....

I took pictures of a few of the birds around our campground yesterday and today:


Joe K had looked this up in his bird book - we think it is a Black-crowned night heron - it has long white feathers that come from the back of its head - they are down his body on the other side from where I was taking his picture. These stayed around our motorhome a lot while we were at Wilderness Lakes (this one is on our green "carpet" outside our door).
I think this may be a juvenile of the Black-crowned night heron
Another picture of the juvenile bird. They are about the same size as the one that is more black/white though.
