  3. Black crowned night heron in flight Lake Powell

    Black crowned night heron in flight Lake Powell

    Managed to catch him just as he took flight. Not great focus due to the distance from him and the motion of the boat on the water. Still, I am happy I caught him in flight.

    Black crowned night heron Lake Powell

    Black crowned night-heron on Lake Powell rocks near Lone Rock, showing white streak feather across back Not as clear as I would like but we were quite a ways away and on a boat rocking with the water.

    Night heron at Bundala National park

    The night herons are medium-sized herons, 5865 cm, in the genera Nycticorax, Nyctanassa, and Gorsachius This photo was taken at Bundala National park in Sri Lanka perched on a tree branch with a nice background and I just rush to take this beautiful snap.
  6. Scowling Black-crowned Night-Heron

    Scowling Black-crowned Night-Heron

    Scowling view. It ignored or didn't notice me when I took the first few photos, turned and "scowled" at me, then resumed ignoring me and looking out over the pond.

    Another shot with the Tamron, hand held. Not brilliant but three weeks ago I would not have got the bird in the frame.
  13. Black Crowned Night Heron (Immature)

    Black Crowned Night Heron (Immature)

    I think this is a juvenile black crowned rather than Yellow crowned night heron, but after staring at the pics in my field guides, I'm not sure. I suppose I could have watched it for 3 more months to see how the adult plumage turned out.....

  15. Night heron study

    Night heron study

    A study of a juv. Night heron based on a video I took last week at Poing Wildtierpark close to Munich.An unusual sighting here, I pressume he spends his summer in parks ponds , because of food availability.
  16. Black-crowned Night Heron

    Black-crowned Night Heron

    Caught this first year, Black-crowned Night Heron catching little fish and shrimp in the shallows of the estuary. I will post a fun picture of one of it's captures tomorrow!! I know, I know, the suspense is killing you! But I have already posted two other photos so.....
  17. Black-crowned Night Heron

    Black-crowned Night Heron

    You just know it has to be pretty darn hot for the local Herons to just plop down in the water and sit there!! This Black-crowned sat there for nearly an hour before climbing out onto a branch, drying off ands flying up into the dense foliage This not a great photo, as it was a long ways...
  18. Black-crowned Night Heron

    Black-crowned Night Heron

    In doing my research for this weeks article, I was digging thru my photo logs, and found this shot of the Black-crowned Night Heron. It was actually born right in the marina that I live and work in, so I have gotten to watch it grow to maturity! Such a lovely bird, until he decides to spend the...

  22. Leaping Night Heron

    Leaping Night Heron

    Last June, I posted an image of this heron as it was perched motionless on some rock and he was quite photogenic.Not so much today as it leaps over a channel to get to the other side of the muddy bank.But I liked him doing that, as a change from its motionless pose.Taken from quite a distance.
  23. Juv Night Heron

    Juv Night Heron

    Most of the Night Herons we saw, at least those we saw at close quarters, were juveniles. Not that there weren't adults around, but we saw those mostly at a distance or flying away. Perhaps juveniles haven't yet learned not to be so trusting? Nice for us, though, and nice for them that we...

    Night heron

    Thank you for your very nice comments on my recent images of butterflies. Here's a picture of a bird , taken at the end of May , while I was in Brenne together with Kim. This bird was the perfect poser.
  25. In-flight night heron

    In-flight night heron

    This hero was sitting on a post very close to my car while I was driving around the reserve. Lucky for me...I caught him just as he was taking off.
