With their tucked in necks, these herons often look like they’re skulking around. I took this photo in early spring so it was easier to get a clear shot. This becomes tricky later in the season with all the greenery.
They look like they’re skulking around because they are! Pretty bird! We don’t have these out here, that I know of. We have great blue herons, and that’s about all I see. You’re so lucky to have a variety of them.

Great out-in-the-open shot, Belinda! They are always hiding when I spot them!

They can remain motionless for the longest time, I wonder how many I have missed 😏. Thank you, Donna!

Nearly monochromatic… we forget how lush and green things will become with new birds arriving daily. 🙂

They are fun to watch, really patient birds too when hunting! We are fortunate that they spend the warmer months here.
