Juvenile Black-crowned Night-heron
 |
|
| [Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note |
Early morning shot of the heron. I wanted to catch both the eye and the feather patterns on this remarkably well pattern bird. I think in this situation the similar colored background actually balances with the heron.
Nycticorax nycticorax Order CICONIIFORMES - Family ARDEIDAE
With a range that spans five continents, including much of North America, the Black-crowned Night-Heron is the most widespread heron in the world. It is most active at dusk and at night, feeding in the same areas that other heron species frequent during the day.
Young Black-crowned Night-Herons often disgorge their stomach contents when disturbed. This habit makes it easy to study its diet.
The Black-crowned Night-Heron may nest in the same tree with ibises or other herons.

Hi Mark
Sorry, no time for a critique tonight, just a big green smiley.
Hi Mark,
it's a beautiful bird you have caught.
It's a pity that the post is so small, you can post up tp 800px. Well composed, maybe little tight in front of beak.
Good POV and dertails.
Well done.
A late Welcome to TN.
