Yellow-crowned Night Heron (Nyctanassa violacea)

Great shot!

An outstanding portrait, Pauhana.

A fantastic image of this Night Heron and so beautifully captured!

A very mice image you have shared with us.

By the way

Our new Bird Forum/Opus system searches the Gallery by the information contained in the tags placed with an image.

Even if the information is in the title, it needs to be tagged. The most important tags are Common Name, Scientific Name, and Location, at a minimum.

It is the presence of these tags that will allow searchers to find and enjoy your most beautiful images. I'm sure you would be disappointed should someone happen to miss seeing one, or more, of them simply because no tags were present.

Your assistance in making this happen by placing tags on your uploaded images will be appreciated very much.

Well posed!

You've some right nice plumage detail here Randy.

That's a terrific picture you've taken of this heron lad - many thanks for showing it to us.
