Surveying his realm, this single Black-crowned Night-Heron was on a small island in what was an active Little Blue Heron rookery last year. This year he seems to be the only wading bird using it.
Shortly after I took this picture he dropped down into the center of the island out of sight, presumably to a nest.
Nice sighting and capture, Ellen. Funny, I was trying to get a shot of one that landed on one of docks off my balcony yesterday morning. They are elusive up here!
Thanks. I hope he comes back for you,
Wonderful pose. Great shot!
Thanks, Belinda!
I love your picture. I took one today of the same kind of bird in Sparks, Nevada!
Thanks, Karen, and thanks for stopping by.
