Usually I say stick gathering with images of a heron working on nest material. This Yellow-crowned Night-heron was only interested in small twigs, and despite all his efforts I never saw him take anything to the nest.
Ah, maybe this is the one!
No, he dropped that one and poked around for another option.
You can hardly see the twig sticking out of his beak, and after a minute he dropped that one, too.
Your last capture gives so much detail of this beautiful bird. Just love it, Ellen.
Thank you, Greta, glad that you liked the image. He sure gave me a good opportunity.
Nice series 🙂
Thanks!
Beautiful pictures! Yellow-Crowned Night Herons are a treat for me to see here in NJ!
Like when the pictures make there own story.
Thanks!
