Bored of herons yet?

So I stopped at the pond on the way home. I was just in time to see this Black Crowned Night Heron fly up about 20 feet into a tree nearby. Today was definitely a fine day for herons.

And let's not forget the Great Blue:

Are those Night Herons ever on the ground. Every time I've seen one it's up a tree. Nice clear shot, great red eye.

sweet night heron. The only one I've ever gotten a photo of was at a zoo... I was like 10' away from it though, so it's a pretty boss photo.

Thanks! Yes, in fact I usually find them at water's edge.

Thanks! I see a lot more juveniles than adults, but we have a fair number out here.

I am super excited to take the new 70-200 out to my usual place and get some new bird shots.
