Black-crowned Night-heron ... at night!

Black-crowned Night-heron ... at night! (Nycticorax nycticorax)

I was at the Corte Madera Marsh (Corte Madera, California) trying out the Canon EOS-R with 500mm f/4 and came across this barely visible heron after dark. It was fully after sunset in the evening. The photo is manual focus on a monopod with the Canon 430EXii flash and Better Beamer flash lens. The eyes have animal red-eye from the flash. The EFV on the EOS-R, I think, helped make the shot possible as it brightened up the image as much as it could.

That's a super sharp picture for a night one Marc.

An excellent job you've done here on this lovely night heron - very well done lad.

Wow Marc! Can't believe this Heron was out walking in the dark.

You did a great job capturing this action. It looks 3D .
