Black-crowned Night-heron

I don't see these birds a lot but they're pretty cool looking I think. Been seeing this guy hanging around the marsh the past couple days.

Very interesting bird. Nice photos by the way.

Great set, I'm glad you can visit the marsh again.

Thanks, guys! So am I, otherwise I have to drive 30 + miles for anything as good.

Great shots. Very unique heron.

Don't see them around here very often either, unless I drive several hundred miles to a rookery. But, there's one that returns every year to a spot near me. I know it's the same one, because he's missing a toe. Unfortunately, he's always in the shadows. Deep cover or drainage ditches. Hard to get a decent shot. Found him last week. Have to see if I can clean them up enough to share.

Thank you. You can put them under "Just For Fun" if they aren't serious pics and dodge the critique. (the serious critique that is)
