A rare sighting: a black-crowned night-heron, who stood peacefully on a log in this algae-laden pond for ages! I had been in pursuit of cardinals when I came upon this rarity. Isn't that the way?
@gardencat Yes, quite a thrill! I had another shot with its neck typically tucked in, but this shot had nicer light. And in this one you can see the red eye.
Oh Wow Heather! Not only have you captured this amazing bird (I've never seen one or heard of one) but you've captured it brilliantly. I'm very impressed. Well done and a huge Fav.
