The season for black-crowned night herons was quite short in our region last year. When we did spot a heron, it was usually in a clear sight line and often amazingly well posed and poised like this one was. Way to go Surfer Girl!

Interesting to see this heron. I notice it has the same 2 white feathers from it’s ‘neck’ as our Nankeen Night Herons here in Australia.

I hadn’t heard of the Nankeen Heron until now. I believe the feathers are breeding plumage.

The long, tassel-like feathers on the back of this bird are fascinating, it really makes me wonder how it evolved to display them such. Nice shot.

The plumes are the ‘feather in its cap’. Glad you like the photo!

I’ve never seen this bird. You must live someplace far from me (I’m in western Canada). Beautiful photo.

This is such a beautiful photo Belinda! I have never seen a black-crowned night heron, but I hear that they are very shy and hard to get a clear shot. Not so with yours! Amazing!

Thank you very much. Early in the summer they’re very wary but they seem to be less so as the season wears on.
