Black-crowned Night-Heron
A breeding Black-crowned Night-Heron will brood any chick that is placed in its nest. These herons apparently don't distinguish between their own offspring and nestlings from other parents.

Love that turquoise eye when these Double-crested Cormorants are in breeding finery
Cattle Egrets (Breeding plumage and bill coloration change on the left; non-breeding adult on the right)

Adult Great Blue Heron preening those all-important feathers
Young Roseate Spoonbills and a doomed baby Brown Pelican
Unfortunately this young Brown Pelican seems to have fallen from its nest and it's very unlikely that he will make it.
