Wallace River " ...a bit of a pervy voyeur " ![]() More info | Wow, Don, good for you! There was one at the Rookery but as mentioned above, it was totally buried in the branches. Great shots! Number 1 is incredible. (Edit : they are both incredible!) IAN - Living life on the shores of the Wallace River in northern Nova Scotia, Canada :

They are often in shade as I suppose they sleep a lot during the day. Wallace River wrote in post #15476754 ![]() Wow, Don, good for you!

There were actually two herons but the other stayed well back deep in the shade. This one at first had its head shaded and obscured by branches. But as I maneuvered to find an opening to shoot through it moved along the branch into the sun and I had a clear view for these shots. kmunroe wrote in post #15476779 ![]() very nice Don Thanks for looking Ken.

I see these in the Chicago area a lot along the Chicago River, but isn't it a Yellow Crowned Night Heron? http://www.flickr.com/photos/photofranz/

Thanks for the comments Franz. I did some looking and I believe you are right about this being a Yellow Crowned. When you see photos of each side by side it is quite clear. Thanks for the correction on the ID. Don

I am every bit the amateur when it comes to photography but the Black Crowned Night Heron is a bird I have come to love. Most Chicagoans probably do not know that they exist, mush less thrive around Chicago in the Summer. I have gotten into the habit of getting my fishing boat on the Chicago River several times a year to fish and take photos. http://www.flickr.com/photos/photofranz/

Jan 11, 2013 23:14 | #11 Another great set Don, you're knockin' 'em out. I've yet to get close to a mature Yellow Crown, strange but we don't see many adult YCNH around here. Steve

I've seen the Black-crowned enough times in Ontario that I didn't pay attention to the yellow streak in this one. Don
