We went back to where the Black-crowned Night-herons are nesting at Cypress Wetlands yesterday.

This one was busy preening, standing on one leg with a toenail of the other poking out through his feathers and casting a shadow on his wing.

This pair were working on their nest with the male delivering sticks…

…which the female worked into a perfect spot.
